How to transfer files to GCP VM from local system

Question

Hi Guys,

I have created one GCP VM. I want to transfer some files to this VM. But how can I do that from Windows system?

Answer 1

Hi@akhtar,

You can use the SCP protocol to transfer files from the Windows system to GCP VM. Windows system has WinSCP software. You need to upload the private key. It will connect to your VM automatically.

Answer 2

gcloud compute scp localpath vm_instance_name:instance/path
