[lxc-users] [LXD] lxc file push/pull

[Mark Constable]

https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/getting-started-cli/ says...

To pull a file from the container, use:
lxc file pull /etc/hosts .

To push one, use:
lxc file push hosts /tmp

but how can "lxc file push|pull" know what container to operate on?

This does not seem to clarify the issue...

~ lxc help file
Manage files on a container.

lxc file push [--uid=UID] [--gid=GID] [--mode=MODE] <source> [<source>...] <target>
lxc file pull <source> [<source>...] <target>

I would kind of expect an explicit 4th <container> argument.
