devbox upload - Namespace Documentation

Upload a local file to a Devbox over SSH. The command preserves the file’s permission bits. If you omit the Devbox name, the CLI prompts you to select one.

Usage

devbox upload [name] <local-path> <remote-path> [flags]

Examples

Upload a configuration file

devbox upload my-devbox ./config.json /tmp/my-app/config.json --mkdir

The source must be a file that the CLI can open. devbox upload does not recursively upload directories and does not prompt before replacing the remote destination.

Options

boolean

default:"false"

boolean

default:"false"

Include Devboxes created by other users when selecting a target.

Download a file

Copy a file from a Devbox to the local machine.
