Unable to find the server at storage.googleapis.com

[felipebarb]

I'm trying to transfer files located in a google cloud bucket to my virtual machine. The gsutil command below (see screenshot) used to work a few weeks ago, but for some reason it's not working anymore.

Do you have any idea for why this is happening?

PS: I've looked at several github / stackoverflow issues and it looks like this is a google server issue? I've added the top-level -D flag to show more details, and I get the error "Unable to find the server at storage.googleapis.com"

I could be wrong as I haven't seen this exact error in a while, but I believe this is the sort of error message you end up seeing if you don't set up access scopes for the VM while you're creating it:

If you don't set it, The Allow default access setting generally won't permit any API access at all from the VM which could explain what you're seeing here.

In that case other gcloud commands would end up displaying a similar type of error.
