    "incantation": "When transferring a file to or from a MicroVM workload container, use `doctl compute microvm upload` or `download` with the required local and container paths.",
    "examples": [
      "doctl compute microvm upload <id> --local-file <local-file> --path <absolute-container-path> [--mode <octal-mode>] [--uid <user-id> --gid <group-id>]",
      "doctl compute microvm download <id> --path <absolute-container-path> --save-to <local-path>"
    ],
    "gotchas": [
      "Version: v2.0.1",
      "<id> (required): MicroVM ID.",
      "--local-file (required): Path of the local file to upload.",
      "--path (required): Upload destination or download source; an absolute path inside the workload container.",
      "--mode: Octal file permission mode; defaults to 0644.",
      "--uid: File owner user ID; set together with --gid. Defaults to the container's user.",
      "--gid: File owner group ID; set together with --uid. Defaults to the container's group. The docs specify that --uid and --gid are paired.",
      "--save-to (required): Local destination path; an existing file is overwritten.",
      "Prerequisite: The MicroVM must support the `file_transfer` feature; see `doctl compute microvm options`. A paused MicroVM is auto-resumed. Upload requires the destination parent directory to exist. Transfers are limited to one file of at most 64 MiB.",
      "The upload's `--mode`, `--uid`, and `--gid` options are optional."
