Connection timed out when attempting to transfer data from local machine to azure Sandbox

[#1]

Using gitbash on windows, I'm attempting to transfer a file from my local downloads folder into azure following the instructions here:

http://hortonworks.com/hadoop-tutorial/learning-the-ropes-of-the-hortonworks-sandbox/

Command:

<code>scp -P 2222~/Downloads/Restaurants.csv cwarren@168.62.237.240:/cwarren

I have verified that the host is correct.

Error:

ssh connect to host 168.62.237.240 port 2222: Connection timed out lost connection

Same problem here, on my Mac OS 10.11. First error was "Connection timed out lost connection".

I found that the ~/Downloads/ path was referring to a path on the VM in Azure, not my local path.

So I jump the command ssh <username>@<host>-p 22; and retry. Now the path seems correct but I got the error "Permission denied"

How did you resolve it, @Cameron Warren ?

Thanks
