pachctl copy file #

Copy files between pfs paths.

Synopsis #

This command files between pfs paths. While using this command, take special note of which project is set to your active context by running pachctl list projects and checking for the * in the ACTIVE column.

To append to an existing file, use the –append flag. To specify the project where both the source and destination repos are located, use the –project flag. This is only necessary if the project in question is not set to your active context. To copy a file from one project to another, use the –src-project and –dest-project flags. Needing to use one (or both) depends on whether or not either project is set to your active context.

pachctl copy file <src-repo>@<src-branch-or-commit>:<src-path> <dst-repo>@<dst-branch-or-commit>:<dst-path> [flags]
