docker cp

Copy files or directories between host and container filesystems. More information: https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/container/cp/.

• Copy a file or directory from the host to a container:

docker cp path/to/file_or_directory_on_host container_name:path/to/file_or_directory_in_container

• Copy a file or directory from a container to the host:

docker cp container_name:path/to/file_or_directory_in_container path/to/file_or_directory_on_host

• Copy a file or directory from the host to a container, following symlinks (copies the symlinked files directly, not the symlinks themselves):

docker cp --follow-link path/to/symlink_on_host container_name:path/to/file_or_directory_in_container
