gcloud scp: Alpha Access Permission required

Question

I try to use gcloud alpha compute scp to transfer files to one of my instances.

I get - Required 'Alpha Access' permission for 'Compute API' when executing the command.

The instance is started with --scopes compute-rw

Where can I set the required Alpha Access permission?

Answer 1

To use of the Alpha release needs your project get white-listed. Instead, use copy-files:

$ gcloud compute copy-files

Or scp which is in beta:

$ gcloud beta compute scp
