Thanks for this. The pattern is useful for much more and sure beats pushing ad-hoc 3rd-party-relinked binaries to production containers.

Then again, why not scp the file to local? Bandwidth usage isn’t good for the environment.

Why stop at one file, is it possible to locally mount a remote folder over ssh?

here is function I use

    sshmount () {
     SSHFS_SERVER_DIR='/home/user' 
     if [ "z$1" = "z" ]
     then
      echo "specify server [server_dir]"
      return
     fi
     SSHFS_SERVER=$1 
     if [ "z$2" != "z" ]
     then
      SSHFS_SERVER_DIR=$2 
     fi
     SSHFS_TARGET_DIR="/home/user/mnt/$SSHFS_SERVER" 
     echo "Mounting $SSHFS_SERVER:$SSHFS_SERVER_DIR into $SSHFS_TARGET_DIR"
     mkdir -p $SSHFS_TARGET_DIR
     sshfs -o idmap=user -o allow_other -o kernel_cache $SSHFS_SERVER:$SSHFS_SERVER_DIR $SSHFS_TARGET_DIR && cd $SSHFS_TARGET_DIR
    }
    
    sshmount servername

will mount server's home in directory /home/user/mnt/servername, second parameter changes the server dir to specified one

Yep, it's called sshfs, very easy to use.
