## NAME
podman\-cp - Copy files/folders between a container and the local filesystem

## Description
We chose not to implement the `cp` feature in `podman` even though the upstream Docker
project has it. We have a much stronger capability. Using standard podman-mount
and podman-umount, we can take advantage of the entire linux tool chain, rather
## SYNOPSIS
**podman cp [CONTAINER:]SRC_PATH [CONTAINER:]DEST_PATH**

## DESCRIPTION
Copies the contents of **SRC_PATH** to the **DEST_PATH**. You can copy from the containers's filesystem to the local machine or the reverse, from the local filesystem to the container.

The CONTAINER can be a running or stopped container. The **SRC_PATH** or **DEST_PATH** can be a file or directory.

The **podman cp** command assumes container paths are relative to the container's / (root) directory.

This means supplying the initial forward slash is optional;

The command sees **compassionate_darwin:/tmp/foo/myfile.txt** and **compassionate_darwin:tmp/foo/myfile.txt** as identical.

Local machine paths can be an absolute or relative value.
The command interprets a local machine's relative paths as relative to the current working directory where **podman cp** is run.

Assuming a path separator of /, a first argument of **SRC_PATH** and second argument of **DEST_PATH**, the behavior is as follows:

**SRC_PATH** specifies a file
- **DEST_PATH** does not exist
- the file is saved to a file created at **DEST_PATH**
- **DEST_PATH** does not exist and ends with /
- **DEST_PATH** is created as a directory and the file is copied into this directory using the basename from **SRC_PATH**
- **DEST_PATH** exists and is a file
- the destination is overwritten with the source file's contents
- **DEST_PATH** exists and is a directory
- the file is copied into this directory using the basename from **SRC_PATH**

**SRC_PATH** specifies a directory
- **DEST_PATH** does not exist
- **DEST_PATH** is created as a directory and the contents of the source directory are copied into this directory
- **DEST_PATH** exists and is a file
- Error condition: cannot copy a directory to a file
- **DEST_PATH** exists and is a directory
- **SRC_PATH** ends with /
- the source directory is copied into this directory
- **SRC_PATH** ends with /. (that is: slash followed by dot)
- the content of the source directory is copied into this directory

The command requires **SRC_PATH** and **DEST_PATH** to exist according to the above rules.

If **SRC_PATH** is local and is a symbolic link, the symbolic target, is copied by default.

A colon (:) is used as a delimiter between CONTAINER and its path.

You can also use : when specifying paths to a **SRC_PATH** or **DEST_PATH** on a local machine, for example, `file:name.txt`.

If you use a : in a local machine path, you must be explicit with a relative or absolute path, for example:
`/path/to/file:name.txt` or `./file:name.txt`


## ALTERNATIVES

Podman has much stronger capabilities than just `podman cp` to achieve copy files between host and container.

Using standard podman-mount and podman-umount takes advantage of the entire linux tool chain, rather
then just cp.

If a user wants to copy contents out of a container or into a container, they
can execute a few simple commands.

standard linux tools for moving files into and out of containers, not just
the cp command.

## EXAMPLE

podman cp /myapp/app.conf containerID:/myapp/app.conf

podman cp /home/myuser/myfiles.tar containerID:/tmp

podman cp containerID:/myapp/ /myapp/
