I run a google cloud virtual machine instance. I have some MySQL backup files to be downloaded to my local computer. I run Ubuntu 14.10 LTS and I have configured Xfce as GUI. I tried to email it via Gmail and google drive, but files are not uploaded. When I tried to use gcloud SCP command as follows but failed. Where is the error?

D:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Google\Cloud SDK>gcloud compute scp src api-project-316008881718:/home/buddhika_ari/backups/latest/dinulaka_2017-09-05_06h38m.Tuesday.sql.gz des d:

You don't need to add src and dest in your command, those are just placeholders. Following command should work:

gcloud compute scp api-project-316008881718:/home/buddhika_ari/backups/latest/dinulaka_2017-09-05_06h38m.Tuesday.sql.gz d:
