How can I copy a file (.txt format) from my computer to docker container

Question

I am trying to copy a .txt file from my computer into a docker container using the command below which I run in powershell:

docker cp SelectedWords.txt  27eab29f7d03:/selectwords/

The command is run, but when I check docker, the file does not appear.

Any suggestions please?

`docker cp SelectedWords.txt 27eab29f7d03:/selectwords/SelectedWords.txt` make sure that you have the folder `selectwords` first — LinPy, Oct 21 '19 at 13:25

Remove the trailing slash

docker cp SelectedWords.txt 27eab29f7d03:/selectwords

Your file should be at /selectwords/SelectedWords.txt
