I need to connect to my virtual box running on my local machine to transfer files from my local system to VM by using WinSCP.
How do I find the IP address? When I go to the settings and network tab, there I find something related to IP, but when I use that, it says cannot find or invalid.

You can edit settings of this VirtualBox network by going to File > Host Network Manager. In our case, the default network address of the host-only network is 192.168. 56.0/24 and the IP address of the virtual network adapter on the host machine is 192.168. 56.1.
Navigate back to the main menu by clicking "Machine Tools". From here, right-click on your VM image and go to "Settings->Network", and attach to your new Host-only Adapter called vboxnet0 . When you restart your VM, its IP should have changed from 10.0.
Using a virtual machine to browse the Internet doesn't mask your IP address or automatically shield you from threats.
The virtual machine receives its network address and configuration on the private network from a DHCP server integrated into VirtualBox. The IP address thus assigned to the virtual machine is usually on a completely different network than the host.
VirtualBox listens for replies to the packages sent, and repacks and resends them to the guest machine on its private network. The virtual machine receives its network address and configuration on the private network from a DHCP server integrated into VirtualBox.
To an application on the host, or to another computer on the same network as the host, it looks like the data was sent by the VirtualBox application on the host, using an IP address belonging to the host. VirtualBox listens for replies to the packages sent, and repacks and resends them to the guest machine on its private network.
Although it shows the main (host) OS has been assigned 192.168.1.104 via wlan0. However, if I run one of those commands from inside the VM, I can confirm that it's currently active @ 10.0.2.15 via eth0. Show activity on this post. Virtualbox includes a tool called VBoxManage. This tool can access information about the guest OS.
Login to virtual machine use below command to check ip address. (anyone will work)
If you used NAT for your virtual machine settings(your machine ip will be 10.0.2.15), then you have to use port forwarding to connect to machine. IP address will be 127.0.0.1
If you used bridged networking/Host only networking, then you will have separate Ip address. Use that IP address to connect virtual machine
