Is it possible to copy a directory from a Google Compute Engine instance to my local machine? : <p>With scp I can add the <code>-r</code> flag to download directories to my local machine via ssh. </p>

<p>When using:</p>

<pre><code>gcloud compute scp -r 
</code></pre>

<p>it sais that '-r' is not an available option. 
Without -r I get an error saying that my source path is a directory. (Implying I can only download single files.)</p>

<p>Is there an equivalent to <code>-r</code> flag for <code>gcloud compute scp</code> command?</p>
