# exo storage copy
### Description

Copy objects within a bucket or across buckets.

This command copies objects server-side without downloading them. Object
metadata, headers, and ACLs are preserved. Existing destination objects are
overwritten.

Multi-object prefix copies are processed serially. A trailing slash on the
source selects prefix mode; -r controls recursion into subdirectories.

Examples:

    exo storage copy sos://my-bucket/file-a sos://my-bucket/folder/file-a

    exo storage copy sos://my-bucket/file-a sos://other-bucket/file-a

    exo storage copy -r sos://my-bucket/prefix/ sos://other-bucket/prefix/

    exo storage copy -n sos://my-bucket/file-a sos://other-bucket/file-a


```
exo storage copy sos://BUCKET/[OBJECT|PREFIX/] sos://BUCKET/[OBJECT|PREFIX/] [flags]
```
