copy file from host to vagrant virtual machine

Question

I am new with virtual machine. I want to copy a file from host (Mac) to vagrant virtual machine. I could not share a folder, so I want to use command line. How can I copy a file from host to vagrant virtual machine with command line?

Answer 1

To copy a file from the host to vagrant:

scp -P 2222 /path/to/file [email protected]:.

• By default The vagrant instance uses port 2222 and ip 127.0.0.1. The password for vagrant is 'vagrant'. The file will be copied to the home of vagrant.

To copy a file from vagrant to host machine:

scp -P 2222 [email protected]:/path/to/file
