What steps will reproduce the problem?

$ gcloud compute copy-files ~/Downloads/test.rtf instance-1:seebe@/bin/local/ 
--zone "us-central1-a" --project "thermal-scene-750"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

silent or file copied successfully 

What is the output of 'gcloud info'?

gcloud compute command line will not allow me to enter pass phrase

Btw, gcloud compute copy feels raw and unforgiving, I have spent my entire 
sunday going around in circles going back to the beginning and starting over 
again just to copy a file from my local Mac to my Google compute instance. [my 
knowledge on unix command line is sparse, but I'm sure gcutil worked more 
solidly]

Thank you for your feedback. We are not able to reproduce this issue. Are you 
sure you entered the correct passphrase when prompted for it? Note that the 
passphrase should match the one you entered while creating the key.

Thanks. I will retry with correct pass phrase.
