> !!!Important Note!!! # Requires that the ‘tar’ binary is present in your container # image. If ‘tar’ is not present, ‘kubectl cp’ will fail. # # For advanced use cases, such as symlinks, wildcard expansion or # file mode preservation, consider using ‘kubectl exec’. # Copy /tmp/foo local file to /tmp/bar in a remote pod in namespace

tar cf - /tmp/foo | kubectl exec -i -n <some-namespace> <some-pod> -- tar xf - -C /tmp/bar
