File Transfer Path Format
The cp command uses RENTAL_ID:/path format for remote paths:
- Local to remote:
basilica cp ./file.txt RENTAL_ID:/workspace/file.txt - Remote to local:
basilica cp RENTAL_ID:/workspace/results.csv ./results.csv
Troubleshooting
No GPUs available
Try different GPU types, regions, or cloud types. Check The Bourse for additional availability.
SSH connection failed
- Check rental status with
statuscommand - Verify SSH key is registered with
ssh-keys list - Wait 1-2 minutes for instance to be ready
File transfer slow
For large files, consider compressing before transfer or using cloud storage (S3, GCS) for large datasets.
