EXAMPLE¶

  # !!!Important Note!!!


  # Requires that the 'tar' binary is present in your container


  # image.  If 'tar' is not present, 'oc cp' will fail.


  #


  # For advanced use cases, such as symlinks, wildcard expansion or


  # file mode preservation, consider using 'oc exec'.


  


  # Copy /tmp/foo local file to /tmp/bar in a remote pod in namespace <some-namespace>


  tar cf - /tmp/foo | oc exec -i -n <some-namespace> <some-pod> -- tar xf - -C /tmp/bar


  


  # Copy /tmp/foo from a remote pod to /tmp/bar locally


  oc 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


  oc 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


  oc 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>


  oc cp /tmp/foo <some-namespace>/<some-pod>:/tmp/bar


  


  # Copy /tmp/foo from a remote pod to /tmp/bar locally


  oc cp <some-namespace>/<some-pod>:/tmp/foo /tmp/bar
