How to download or backup or to save a copy of a file from openshift remote folder into my local-system folder using rhc client tool? or is there any other way other than rhc client tool to make a backup of it to my local system?

Also, Is there a way to copy an entire folder from remote(openshift) to local?

Use winscp (if on windows) to ssh into your openshift app. Navigate to your folder. Drag and drop folder or files to local machine.

Filezilla - using filezilla and sftp with openshift

I use linux. i tried gigolo to connect the openshift remote file system but no sftp support and permission denied error when i click var folder. Is there anything like winscp for linux. – Menticide 31/12, 2014 at 16:41

Try Filezilla on linux. – Bailee 31/12, 2014 at 18:50

I tried filezilla and also found a blog related to filezilla setting up with openshift.... works nice. It seems I accidentally uploaded some files through terminal ., able to view all, delete, retrieve files/folders. Thanks @fatfantasma. – Menticide 1/1, 2015 at 4:59

First, tar and gzip your folder on the server within a ssh session, the syntax is:

rhc ssh <app_name>
tar czf <name_of_new_file>.tar.gz <name_of_directory>

Second, after you have disconnected from the openshift server (with CTRL-D), download this file to your local system:

rhc scp <app_name> download <local_destination> <absolute_path_to_remote_file>

Then on your local machine you can extract the file and perform your actions.

For this "tar czf <name_of_new_file>.tar.gz <name_of_directory>" – Menticide 1/1, 2015 at 16:59

I am trying to run the first command in MongoDB pod on OpenShift with tar czf my_dump.tar.gz dump and it returns tar: Old option g' requires an argument.` I also tried zip -r dump.zip dump and got zip: command not found. – Kerrill 19/11, 2018 at 14:56

Actually, this works from pod terminal in OpenShift Online console: tar czf my_dump.tar.gz dump. – Kerrill 19/11, 2018 at 15:9

copy a pod directory to a local directory:

oc rsync <pod-name>:/opt/app-root/src /c/source
