Hello,  
I need some help.  
I have Node-Red running as an instance in ioBroker which is running in a Docker container on my Synology DS.  
With the node "write file" I have written some data to a file called TEST.txt.  
In Docker terminal

```auto
find -name TEST.txt

```

delivers  
/node\_modules/iobroker.node-red/TEST.txt

the full path appears to be  
/opt/iobroker/node\_modules/iobroker.node-red/TEST.txt

In Synology SSH Terminal (as Admin)

```auto
sudo docker ps

```

delivers CONTAINER ID ab6e717f3401 and NAMES buanet-iobroker1  
--\> Without sudo permission is denied!

Still in Synology SSH Session,

```auto
ls

```

delivers "Drive" (which is a folder in admin's home-folder).  
So .... I would like to copy TEST.txt to "Drive".  
In Syno SSH:

```auto
sudo docker cp ab6e717f3401:/opt/iobroker/node_modules/iobroker.node-red/TEXT.txt /Drive

```

The command is executed without an error message. But there is no file in Drive.  
What am I doing wrong? I am not fluent in terminal-commands. So please .... slowly 🙂

Regards  
Dennis
