\$ contree cp --help

usage: contree cp \[-h] path dest

Copy a file from the session image to a local path.

Downloads the file at PATH inside the current session image and writes
it to DEST on the local filesystem. Progress is logged for large files.
Unlike \`cat\`, this command handles binary content and does not require
a terminal.

positional arguments:
  path        Path inside image
  dest        Local destination path

options:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

for coding agents:
  read-only command against remote image, writes local file DEST
  suitable for binary files
  --format is ignored; command writes bytes directly

agent note:
  Before using this command in an automated workflow, read:
    contree agent

## Behavior The file is streamed from the image directly – no sandbox is started. For large files, progress is logged every 5 seconds with download speed and ETA. The final log line shows total size and average speed. ## See also * [ls - List files in the image](./ls) – list files to find the path * [cat - Show file content from the image](./cat) – view file contents without downloading * [Your First Sandbox](../tutorial/first-steps) – downloading files
