Hi Guys,

I have some files in the GCP instance. I want to copy the files from the remote system to the local system. How can I do that with the command line?

Hi@akhtar,

You can copy files from the remote system to the local system using the gcloud command. To denote a file in Cloud Shell, prefix the file name with the string "cloudshell". To denote a local file, prefix the file name with the string "localhost" as shown below.

$ gcloud cloud-shell scp cloudshell:~/REMOTE-DIR localhost:~/LOCAL-DIR


Hope it helps!!
