how do I copy a file from aws ec2 instance to dockerized HDP2.5 ( installed in the same box)

[#1]

Not clear what you are doing. Please define your problem with more details:

• What is your environment? How did you start the containers?
• What would you like to achieve?
• What have you tried so far?

To copy any file from the host machine to a docker container you can use docker cp command or use docker volumes. If you would like to copy from the host machine to hdfs the easiest way to mount a volume to the docker container and use hdfs dfs -copyFromLocal from inside the containers as the hdfs configuration most probably already there...
