I am trying to download all files to my system from my firestorage using gsutil.



I am using the following command as per the documentation to download all .jpg files:



gsutil cp gs://my-bucket/*.jpg


however I am getting the error saying that the cp command has the wrong number of arguments I suppose its asking for a path in my computer, but how do I put that there??

          The syntax for gsutil cp is:



          gsutil cp <source> <destination>


          You're calling it as:



          gsutil cp gs://my-bucket/*.jpg


          This means that you're specifying a source, but not a destination. If you want to for example store the files in the directory/folder where you run the command, you would run it as:



          gsutil cp gs://my-bucket/*.jpg .


          The . at the end there means that the destination is the current directory, where you run the command.

          • I see how do I specify my local storage as the destination?? and my bucket looks like this gs://mybucket/File/Path One. so do I give the space there or do I write gs://mybucket/File/ Path%20%One

          • The . is the local directory on the machine where you run gsutil. If you run that local you local machine, the files are put into the directory where you run the command.
