How to Do Kubectl cp from running pod to local,says no such file or directory
I have contents in Ubuntu container as below
vagrant@ubuntu-xenial:~/k8s/pods$ kubectl exec command-demo-67m2b -c
ubuntu
-- sh -c "ls /tmp"
docker-sock
Now simply i want to copy above /tmp contents using below kubectl cp command
kubectl cp command-demo-67m2b/ubuntu:/tmp /home
I have a command output as below
vagrant@ubuntu-xenial:~/k8s/pods$ kubectl cp command-demo-67m2b/ubuntu:/tmp
/home
error: tmp no such file or directory
Now All i want to do is copy above /tmp folder to local host,unfortunately kubectl says no such file or directory. I amn confused when /tmp folder exists in Ubuntu container why kubectl cp saying folder not found
My pod is command-demo-67m2b and container name is ubuntu
But the pod is up and running as shown below
vagrant@ubuntu-xenial:~/k8s/pods$ kubectl describe pods command-demo-67m2b
Name: command-demo-67m2b

I expect kubectl cp command to copy contents from pod container to local
In your original command to exec into a container, you pass the -c ubuntu
command, meaning you're selecting the Ubuntu container from the pod:
kubectl exec command-demo-67m2b -c
ubuntu
-- sh -c "ls /tmp"
However, in your kubectl cp
command, you're not specifying the same container:
kubectl cp command-demo-67m2b/ubuntu:/tmp /home
Try this:
kubectl cp command-demo-67m2b:/tmp /home -c ubuntu
