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
| Intent | Current path |
|---|---|
| Work on machine files with your own editor | Mount the machine as a local drive — no copying at all. |
| Inspect or retrieve one file | Open Files, preview it, then download it. See Browse files. |
| Give a conversation a small input file | Use the attachment action when the composer offers it. |
| Publish a finished static build to a public URL | cmdop publish ./dist — see below. |
| Synchronize directories or resume a large transfer | Use 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 ./distIt 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.
