@Ravikumar Kumashi

Try this command instead.

scp -P 2222 C:/Users/rnkumashi/Downloads/sample.txt root@localhost:/root

However you need something like cygwin to make scp work from windows machine.

You have to run the command from windows, not sandbox.

This is a good document to get you started http://hortonworks.com/hadoop-tutorial/learning-the-ropes-of-the-hortonworks-sandbox/

@Ravikumar Kumashi

Make sure your VM is up and sshd is running and listening on port 2222: sudo netstat -anp | grep sshd

Make sure no firewall rules are getting in the way.

If confirmed, try using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost and if that doesn't work try editing your hosts file so that sandbox.hortonworks.com resolves to 127.0.0.1 and then use the FQDN sandbox.hortonworks.com instead of localhost.

i was checking sshd is running or not using below 'service ssh status' and it was not running

I used below command to start 'sudo service ssh start' but could not start

Hi @Ravikumar Kumashi

Can you check how is your vm network is configured?

Ensure that vm network is set to NAT and port forwarding is configured.

If your network is configured to host only then you need to give ip instead of localhost and remove -P 2222 from command.

Can you paste the output of ifconfig from vm?

In this case below command should work for you.

scp /cygdrive/c/Users/rnkumashi/Downloads/sample.txt root@192.168.228.128:/root

@Ravikumar Kumashi

I tried the following steps in WINSCP and was able to transfer the file. Please check if the same can be done at your end.

1. Edit the hosts entry C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc : hosts file and added the IP

172.16.0.6 sandbox.hortonworks.com sandbox.

at the end of the file.

2. Use the following credentials for WINSCP

File protocol : SCP

IP : 172.16.0.6 Port : 22

User : root; Password : Sandbox password.
