How to use kubectl cp to copy files from a pod's folder with space in its name-CodePudding

I came accross an issue with the kubectl cp command. I tried to copy from the following folder by usingg the kubectl cp command, but to no avail: agent/workspace/Performance Testing/Nightly/GrafanaReporter/output/

Here is the entire cp command that failed:

kubectl cp devops/capra-nightly-3w74q-7c3nc:agent/workspace/Performance Testing/Nightly/GrafanaReporter/output/ .

Kubectl does not give any feedback about the success of the command, so I kept trying until I realised that the the root cause of the issue is the space in the name of the "Performance Testing" folder.

CodePudding user response：

I looked around and I found that this issue can be solved by using "" around the path that contains the space.

Here is the command that runs perfectly:

kubectl cp "devops/capra-nightly-3w74q-7c3nc:agent/workspace/Performance Testing/Nightly/GrafanaReporter/output/" .
