Docker cp error: Path not specified

Version 1.6.2 doesn't allow copying from host to container, you need to upgrade to at least 1.8 for that support.

    I want to copy a file from my Ubuntu host to Docker container.

    I use Docker 1.6.2 from 14.04 LTS repository.

    When I try to copy I get error:

    sudo docker cp 1.JPG evil_sammet:/root/openface/training-images/misha/1.jpg
    FATA[0000] Error: Path not specified
    

    With equal success, I can type gibberish instead of file name and path:

    sudo docker cp sdfsdfasd dfsdffd 
    FATA[0000] Error: Path not specified
