Copy files to and from Kubernetes Container POD

#kubernetes #k8s

‘KUBECTL CP’ to Copy the files and directories from a Kubernetes Container [POD] to the local host and vice versa.

Syntax:
kubectl cp (file-spec-src) (file-spec-dest)
POD in a specific container
kubectl cp (file-spec-src) (file-spec-dest) -c (specific-container)

Example-1:
Copy /tmp/foo local file to /tmp/bar in a remote pod in namespace
kubectl cp /tmp/foo (some-namespace)/(some-pod):/tmp/bar

Example-2:
Copy /tmp/foo from a remote pod to /tmp/bar locally
kubectl cp (some-namespace)/(some-pod):/tmp/foo /tmp/bar

I was expecting this video to have a demo with some examples instead of just repeating what's in the doc.

Thanks for the video, If you have made demo on copying files, that actually helps better

[nareshravuru]

it would have been much helpful if you have shown examples with demo. It worked for me though. Thanks.
