DESCRIPTION

16       The cp command copies files between the local and remote file systems.
17
18
19       As  with  the  UNIX cp command, the first argument specifies the source
20       and the last specifies the destination; additional sources may be spec‐
21       ified after the first, if the destination is a directory.
22
23
24       The --recursive flag is required if any source is a directory.
25
26
27       A  "remote:"  prefix on any file name argument indicates that it refers
28       to the file system of the remote (Codespace) machine.  It  is  resolved
29       relative to the home directory of the remote user.
30
31
32       By default, remote file names are interpreted literally. With the --ex‐
33       pand flag, each such argument is treated in the manner  of  scp,  as  a
34       Bash  expression  to be evaluated on the remote machine, subject to ex‐
35       pansion of tildes, braces, globs, environment variables, and backticks.
36       For security, do not use this flag with arguments provided by untrusted
37       users;  see   https://lwn.net/Articles/835962/https://lwn.net/Arti
38       cles/835962/⟩ for discussion.

41       By  default, the 'cp' command will create a public/private ssh key pair
42       to authenticate with the codespace inside the ~/.ssh directory.
