## nodus cp

Copy files to and from a running Sandbox, Workspace or Job, or download a Job output

### Synopsis

Either side is KIND/NAME:/absolute/path inside the running container; the other side is a local path. Directories copy recursively. KIND/NAME:outputs/OUTPUT downloads a declared output of a Job, verified against its SHA-256 and written atomically; KIND/NAME:outputs/ or outputs/PREFIX/ downloads every output under it into a directory, so a TrainingJob’s adapter comes down in one command.
