Confusing file does not exist error

[t0yv0]

What happened?

In the case where the remote path does not exist, I get a cryptic "file does not exist" error. Would be lovely to distinguish missing local and remote paths and identify which one is missing in the error message.

  file-copy:
    type: command:remote:CopyFile
    properties:
      connection:
        host: ${inst.publicIp}
        user: ec2-user # The default user for Amazon Linux AMI
        privateKey: ${priv-key.privateKeyOpenssh}
      localPath: ./Pulumi.yaml
      remotePath: "~/Pulumi.yaml"

Example

Above.
