Copying files¶

Move files in and out of a running container — like kubectl cp, but with a file picker and a progress readout.

• Pod ⋮ menu → Files…

Download¶

Enter a path inside the container and download it:

• A file downloads as-is.
• A directory is streamed out as a .tar archive, so you keep the whole tree.

The byte count is shown when the transfer completes.

Upload¶

Pick a local file and a destination path in the container:

• A plain path writes the file to exactly that location.
• A path ending in / drops the file into that directory.

Requirements¶

File copy uses the standard streaming trick over exec, so the target container needs a few common binaries:
