Transfer files

Cmdop mostly answers “move this file” by removing the move: mount the machine and edit its files in place. For the cases that genuinely need bytes elsewhere, download a single file from the console’s Files view, or put a finished static build on a public URL with cmdop publish ./dist. Directory sync and resumable large-file transfer are not provided — use your own approved tool.

Choose the workflow by intent:

Choose the transfer path

IntentCurrent path
Work on machine files with your own editorMount the machine as a local drive — no copying at all.
Inspect or retrieve one fileOpen Files, preview it, then download it. See Browse files.
Give a conversation a small input fileUse the attachment action when the composer offers it.
Publish a finished static build to a public URLcmdop publish ./dist — see below.
Synchronize directories or resume a large transferUse your organization’s approved file-transfer tool.

Mounting is the answer to most “how do I get this file over here” questions, because it removes the transfer instead of automating it.

Publish a static build

cmdop publish is the one shipped path that puts machine files on a public URL:

npm run build cmdop publish ./dist

It publishes a finished build — one generated HTML file or a completed output directory. It does not upload source code or run a build for you. The result includes the public URL and a publication ID; pass that ID on a later publish to update the same URL rather than mint a new one.

Treat it as publication, not transfer: whatever you publish is reachable by anyone with the link.

What Cmdop does not provide

Cmdop does not offer directory synchronization, resumable large-file transfer, or a general programmatic file-transfer API. A conversation attachment is task input, not a sync mechanism or a durable shared drive, and downloading from Files is a browser action rather than a published API.

Check a file’s contents before attaching it to a conversation, and keep secrets out of attachments and publications entirely.

Common questions

How do I transfer files with Cmdop?

For most editing work, mount the machine and avoid copying. To retrieve one file, use browser Files and download it. To publish a finished static build, use cmdop publish ./dist.

Does Cmdop sync directories?

No. Cmdop does not provide directory synchronization, resumable large-file transfer, or a general programmatic file-transfer API. Use your organization’s approved file-transfer tool for those jobs.

Is cmdop publish a file-transfer command?

No. cmdop publish publishes a finished static build to a public URL. Treat it as publication: anyone with the link can reach what you published.
