Hey @Nitesh-kumar-Reddy ,
When copying an entire directory, you won't see the detailed output you mentioned. However, in the debug logs, you can observe the message: ##[debug]Upload a directory to a remote machine.

Copying Specific Files or Using flattenFolders: true
If you are copying only specific files (by specifying patterns in contents or copying all files with flattenFolders: true, you will get the detailed output you mentioned.
