I have a Ubuntu virtualbox installed Ubuntu Server. My local machine has Ubuntu 12.04 OS. I need to copy files from the /var/www in the virtualbox Ubuntu Server in to my local machine. (My network settings in virtualbox is "Bridged Adapter" and it has a static IP: 192.168.56.101)
My local mchine IP is : 192.168.56.1

I tried following

scp -r test.php [email protected]:

It says

Port 22: No route to host

lost connection.

What is wrong here?

First make sure that you have openssh-server installed on your local machine, if not:

sudo apt-get install openssh-server

Then from your Virtual Machine:

scp /var/www/test.php [email protected]:/home/nilani

Alternatively you could do the other way around, this time from your local machine:

scp [email protected]:/var/www/test.php .
