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/

I tried again using the hortonworks sandbox's ip address, this time it says Connection refused (tried port 2222, failed with same error)

scp  C/RXIE/Learning/Github/spark-master/examples/src/main/python/streaming/kafka_wordcount.py root@192.168.128.119:/root
