I would like to verify my website in Google Search Console by uploading a file to my website - example.com which is hosted on Google Cloud Compute Engine (Wordpress site deployed with Google Cloud Launcher) . It has to be placed on a website as example.com/123googlesearchconsoleexample.html , but I cannot upload it via Cloud Shell from a Google Cloud Storage bucket. Is there a way to do this?

I tried gcloud compute copy-files command

gcloud compute copy-files gs://example/123googlesearchconsoleexample.html example-prd-vm:~/

, but it seems that it does not work in the browser and this is how I would like to do it (without installing SDK). The error I get is:

(gcloud.compute.copy-files) All sources must be local files when destination is remote.

First list all the buckets you have using the following command

gsutil ls

Use the following command to download a file from your Google Cloud Storage bucket to your local location

gsutil cp gs://bucketname/filename local-location

You can use the -r option to download a folder from GCS

gsutil cp -r gs://bucketname/folder-name local-location

You can also use the -m option to download large number of files which performs a parallel (multi-threaded/multi-processing) copy

gsutil -m cp -r gs://bucketname/folder-name local-location

In order to copy one file:

gsutil -m cp "gs://yourbucketnam/folder/../filename.txt"

In order to copy the whole folder:

gsutil -m cp "gs://yourbucketnam/folder"

In order to copy a folder and all its contents.
