Copy a file to a set of systems
salt-cp '*' [ options ] SOURCE DEST salt-cp -E '.*' [ options ] SOURCE DEST salt-cp -G 'os:Arch.*' [ options ] SOURCE DEST
Salt copy copies a local file out to all of the Salt minions matched by the given target.
.. program:: salt-cp
.. option:: -h, --help
Print a usage message briefly summarizing these command-line options
.. option:: -t TIMEOUT, --timeout=TIMEOUT
The timeout in seconds to wait for replies from the Salt minions.
.. option:: -E, --pcre
The target expression will be interpreted as a PCRE regular expression
rather than a shell glob.
.. option:: -L, --list
The target expression will be interpreted as a comma delimited list,
example: server1.foo.bar,server2.foo.bar,example7.quo.qux
.. option:: -G, --grain
The target expression matches values returned by the Salt grains system on
the minions. The target expression is in the format of '<grain value>:<glob
expression>'; example: 'os:Arch*'
.. option:: --grain-pcre
The target expression matches values returned by the Salt grains system on
the minions. The target expression is in the format of '<grain value>:<pcre
regular expression>'; example: 'os:Arch.*'
.. option:: -R, --range
Instead of using shell globs to evaluate the target use a range expression
to identify targets. Range expressions look like %cluster.
Using the Range option requires that a range server is set up and the
location of the range server is referenced in the master configuration
file.
.. option:: -C, --compound
Utilize many target definitions to make the call very granular. This option
takes a group of targets separated by and or or. The default matcher is a
glob as usual, if something other than a glob is used preface it with the
letter denoting the type, example: 'webserv* and G@os:Debian or E@db*'
make sure that the compound target is encapsulated in quotes.
.. option:: -c CONFIG, --config=CONFIG
The location of the Salt master configuration file, the Salt master
settings are required to know where the connections are;
default=/etc/salt/master
:manpage:`salt(1)` :manpage:`salt-master(1)` :manpage:`salt-minion(1)`
