kubectl cp [page]deterministic

##

Copy files and directories to and from containers.

``` kubectl cp <file-spec-src> <file-spec-dest> ```

##

``` # !!!Important Note!!! # Requires that the 'tar' binary is present in your container # image. If 'tar' is not present, 'kubectl cp' will fail. # # For advanced use cases, such as symlinks, wildcard expansion or # file mode preservation, consider using 'kubectl exec'. # Copy /tmp/foo local file to /tmp/bar in a remote pod in namespace <some-namespace> tar cf - /tmp/foo | kubectl exec -i -n <some-namespace> <some-pod> -- tar xf - -C /tmp/bar # Copy /tmp/foo from a remote pod to /tmp/bar locally kubectl exec -n <some-namespace> <some-pod> -- tar cf - /tmp/foo | tar xf - -C /tmp/bar # Copy /tmp/foo_dir local directory to /tmp/bar_dir in a remote pod in the default namespace kubectl cp /tmp/foo_dir <some-pod>:/tmp/bar_dir # Copy /tmp/foo local file to /tmp/bar in a remote pod in a specific container kubectl cp /tmp/foo <some-pod>:/tmp/bar -c <specific-container> # Copy /tmp/foo local file to /tmp/bar in a remote pod in namespace <some-namespace> kubectl cp /tmp/foo <some-namespace>/<some-pod>:/tmp/bar # Copy /tmp/foo from a remote pod to /tmp/bar locally kubectl cp <some-namespace>/<some-pod>:/tmp/foo /tmp/bar ```
