gcs_cp: copy files to and from buckets

In GCSConnection: Creating R Connection with Google Cloud Storage

Description

The function supports moving files or folders from bucket to bucket, disk to bucket and bucket to disk. Note that the existing destination file will be overwritten.

Usage

gcs_cp(from, to, recursive = TRUE, billing_project = gcs_get_requester_pays())

Arguments

from, to	the character path to a bucket/folder/file or a FolderClass/FileClass object returned by 'gcs_dir'. At least one path must be a google URI. It is recommended to explicitly add a trailing "/" if the parameter is a path to a folder.
recursive	logical(1). Whether to recursively copy the files in the subfolders.
billing_project	logical(1) or character(1). If logical, whether users should pay the cost for accessing the data. The billing project is the project ID in 'gcs_get_billing_project()'. If character, it represents the project ID that will be charged by Google.

Value

No return value

Examples

tmp_path <- tempdir()

## Download a file to a disk
gcs_cp("gs://genomics-public-data/NA12878.chr20.sample.bam", tmp_path)

## Check the file existance
file.exists(file.path(tmp_path, "NA12878.chr20.sample.bam"))

## Download all files in a path.
## The files in the subfolders will not be copied due to `recursive = FALSE`
folder_path <- file.path(tmp_path, "example")
gcs_cp("gs://genomics-public-data/", folder_path, recursive = FALSE)

## Check the file existance
list.files(folder_path)
