How to transfer files between Docker container and local machine

To transfer files between the host and the container, the full ID of the container is required.

The acquisition method is as follows:

1. First get the short ID or specified name of the container.

2. Then get the full ID name based on any of these two items.

With this long ID, file transfer between the local machine and the container is simple.

docker cp local file path ID full name: container path 

After entering the container, you can see the files just uploaded.

If the container transfers files to the local machine, the reverse is fine:

docker cp ID full name: container file path local path

For mounting, you can refer to this article: Using Volume to transfer files between the host and Docker container.
