Hi,
Probably a silly question, but I was wondering if it is possible to copy a file to/from a Host to a Container (to save bandwidth).

Many thanks in advance,
Brendan

Hi,
Just figured out I can do this as follows

cat file | vzctl exec 201 "cat - > file"

and

vzctl exec 201 "cat file" > file

I guess my question is, is there a command to do this specifically? Or a better way of doing this?

Thanks,

if container is running you can edit,copy,move files in root/[CTID]/

if container is not running you can edit,copy,move files in private/[CTID]
but then, keep in mind that containers quota information will be incorrect until you drop container quota information (it will be recreated and recalculated in next CT start, it is a little bit time consume operation)

to drop container quota:
vzquota drop CTID

Thanks, that's great. Just what I wanted to know.

Just to clarify, does the comment re the quota information apply to the copy,edit etc only when the container isn't running.

So if done as suggested when the container is running, the quota will still be OK?

when container IS running then you work with root/CTID
quota information should be ok

when container IS NOT running then you work with private/CTID
you lost correct quota information, then you have to drop quota info
