Copy files to and from a Cloud TPU VM via SCP.
To copy a file (for example, a text file in the local home directory) to a Cloud TPU VM, run:
$ gcloud compute tpus tpu-vm scp ~/my-file my-tpu:
To copy a file into all workers in a Cloud TPU VM, run:
$ gcloud compute tpus tpu-vm scp ~/my-file my-tpu: --worker=all
To copy a file from a Cloud TPU VM to the home directory of the local computer, run:
$ gcloud compute tpus tpu-vm scp my-tpu:~/my-file ~/
To copy all files in a folder to a Cloud TPU VM, run:
$ gcloud compute tpus tpu-vm scp ~/my-folder/ my-tpu: --recurse
- [[USER@]INSTANCE:]SRC [[[USER@]INSTANCE:]SRC ...]
Specifies the files to copy.
- [[USER@]INSTANCE:]DEST
Specifies a destination for the source files.
- --compress
Enable compression.
- --dry-run
Print the equivalent scp/ssh command that would be run to stdout, instead of executing it.
- --force-key-file-overwrite
If enabled, the gcloud command-line tool will regenerate and overwrite the files associated with a broken SSH key without asking for confirmation in both interactive and non-interactive environments.
If disabled, the files associated with a broken SSH key will not be regenerated and will fail in both interactive and non-interactive environments.
- --internal-ip
Connect to TPU VMs using their internal IP addresses rather than their external IP addresses. Use this to connect from a Google Compute Engine VM to a TPU VM on the same VPC network, or between two peered VPC networks.
- --plain
Suppress the automatic addition of ssh(1)/scp(1) flags. This flag is useful if you want to take care of authentication yourself or use specific ssh/scp features.
- --recurse
Upload directories recursively.
- --scp-flag=SCP_FLAG
Additional flags to be passed to scp(1). This flag may be repeated.
- --ssh-key-file=SSH_KEY_FILE
The path to the SSH key file. By default, this is ~/.ssh/google_compute_engine.
- --strict-host-key-checking=STRICT_HOST_KEY_CHECKING
Override the default behavior of StrictHostKeyChecking for the connection. By default, StrictHostKeyChecking is set to 'no' the first time you connect to an instance, and will be set to 'yes' for all subsequent connections. STRICT_HOST_KEY_CHECKING must be one of: yes, no, ask.
- --worker=WORKER; default="0"
TPU worker to connect to. The supported value is a single 0-based index of the worker in the case of a TPU Pod. When also using the --command flag, it additionally supports a comma-separated list (e.g. '1,4,6'), range (e.g. '1-3'), or special keyword ``all" to run the command concurrently on each of the specified workers.
Note that when targeting multiple workers, you should run 'ssh-add' with your private key prior to executing the gcloud command. Default: 'ssh-add ~/.ssh/google_compute_engine'.
- --zone=ZONE
Zone of the tpu to scp. If not specified and the compute/zone property isn't set, you might be prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only).
To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the compute/zone property:
$ gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE
A list of zones can be fetched by running:
$ gcloud compute zones list
To unset the property, run:
$ gcloud config unset compute/zone
Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE.
- At most one of these can be specified:
- --ssh-key-expiration=SSH_KEY_EXPIRATION
The time when the ssh key will be valid until, such as "2017-08-29T18:52:51.142Z." This is only valid if the instance is not using OS Login. See $ gcloud topic datetimes for information on time formats.
- --ssh-key-expire-after=SSH_KEY_EXPIRE_AFTER
The maximum length of time an SSH key is valid for once created and installed, e.g. 2m for 2 minutes. See $ gcloud topic datetimes for information on duration formats.
These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.
Run $ gcloud help for details.
