Hello,

I am learning docker for the 2nd time and wanted to try out sharing files or directories between a Windows host and a docker container.

The Windows host is remote connected via ssh and is in the directory C:
Users<user>
Docker is installed on the Windows host with the WSL 2 backend.

I run a container in detached mode where I want to mount the Windows host Documents folder and want to point it to /tmp in the container:
docker run -dit -v /Documents:/tmp python bash

In another remote shell I want to create a small file in the Documents folder, hoping it would appear in the containers /tmp dir:
echo “this is a line of text” >>text.txt
The file is successfully created

When I attach to the running container and list the directory of /tmp nothing is changed.
What do I do wrong?
