NAME
podman-machine-cp - Securely copy contents between the host and the virtual machine
SYNOPSIS
podman machine cp [options] src_path dest_path
DESCRIPTION
Use secure copy (scp) to copy files or directories between the virtual machine and your host machine.
podman machine cp does not support copying between two virtual machines,
which would require two machines running simultaneously.
Additionally, podman machine cp will automatically do a recursive copy of
files and directories.
OPTIONS
