SCP file transfer between Hortonworks Sandbox to Windows local host

[#1]

Hi everyone,

I just installed virtualbox ad hortonworks sanbox.  I want to copy files between my local host and Sandbox using SCP.  I used this command and getting errors.

[root@sandbox-hdp ~]# scp -P 2222 [email protected]:/root/saketh/sample1.txt C:\Users\satvi\Desktop\test\sample1.txt

ssh: connect to host sandbox-hdp.hortonworks.com port 2222: Connection refused

root@sandbox-hdp ~]# scp -P 4200 [email protected]:/root/saketh/sample1.txt C:\Users\satvi\Desktop\sample1.txt

ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

Thanks

Hello

Make sure you configure in Windows hosts file for "sandbox-hdp.hortonworks.com" with a proper IP address

Thank you for your quick response.  i am new to this technology and not sure how to implement your solution.  Do you mind elaborating?

Thanks

Hi @Saketh 

If you are new to the HDP Sandbox and you don't understand what @Daming Xue is referring to, I highly recommend you review the tutorial Learning the Ropes of the HDP Sandbox and specifically the subsection Map Sandbox IP to Your Desired Hostname in the Hosts File as the procedure is described in detail there.
