Copy multiple files using * wildcard from kubernetes container I have several files named out1, out2, ... in my Kubernetes container. I want to copy them to my local computer. I am using:

$ kubectl cp pod:/path/out* .


But I am getting an error:


  tar: Removing leading `/' from member names 
      tar: /path/out*: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
      tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors 
      error: path/out* no such file or directory


How can I use kubectl cp with wildcards?
Wildcard support was added to kubectl cp in the #72641 pull request.
It is merged but only available in Kubernetes v1.14.0. Take a look at the ChangeLog:

Notable Features:
[...]
• kubectl supports copying files with wild card
(#72641, @dixudx)

However, as stated on the issue #78854 the PR was made without proper tests and the feature is actually broken. The PR to fix the problem (#78928) is open since June, and it's not merged yet.
Although the PR to fix the feature exists, they are also considering removing the support to wildcard copy.
