PS

The cp subcommand of transient allows the user to copy files to or from offline virtual machines.

Usage

usage: transient cp [-h] [--verbose] [--vmstore VMSTORE] [--image-backend IMAGE_BACKEND]
                    [--rsync]
                    path [path ...]

• path: Path to copy to or from. Paths can either be local (e.g. /root/myfile) or VM-based (e.g., MY_VM_NAME:/etc/fstab). Either the destination or the source must be VM-based

• --rsync: Use rsync for copy operations (instead of scp)

• --vmstore VMSTORE: Copy to VMs backed by the provided VMSTORE path

• --image-backend BACKEND: Use the provided BACKEND path as the location to search for existing images
