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/

Hello @Rahul Pathak,

Could you please help me with this..

I'm stuck here since 2 days and tried everything 😞

@Rakshith Gowda have you tried specifying port 2222 with scp (scp -P 2222 . . .)? Port 2222 is usually forwarded to 22 when using NAT. Are you able to SSH to this host on port 22 or on port 2222?

Please note the capital P. The error message indicates you are still attempting to connect to port 22.

Please also verify SSH connectivity, per the above.
