      Article summary

      The Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage command-line interface (CLI) supports the b2-copy-file-by-id command that you can use to copy a file from one bucket to another bucket.

      The context for making this call in the CLI is as follows:

      b2 copy-file-by-id <sourceFileID> <destinationBucketName> <b2FileName>

      The sourceFileID is the file ID of the file that you want to copy to the new bucket. 

      There are two options to find a file ID:

      • Use the b2 ls --long b2://<bucketName> command in the Backblaze B2 CLI.
      • In the Backblaze web console, click the ‘i’ icon next to a file. The Fguid is the file ID for that file.

      The following example shows you how to copy a file from one bucket to another bucket.
