My development environment is within Google Cloud Shell, whereas the production environment is a separate GCP VM instance. After testing I would like to move all files from my dist folder to the GCP VM instance.
As a test I have tried to copy just one file.
Attempt #1: within Cloud Shell terminal
gcloud alpha cloud-shell scp cloudshell:~/README-cloudshell.txt peter@myvm:~/README-cloudshell.txt
Error #1: All sources must be local files when destination is remote.
Attempt #2: within GCP VM terminal
gcloud compute scp cloudshell:~/README-cloudshell.txt myvm:~
Error #2: All sources must be local files when destination is remote.
I appreciate any help.
from cloud shell
gcloud compute scp ~/README-cloudshell.txt user@instanceName:~
