You know.... I seem to remember being able to pull files to the host in another incarnation of the VM. Doesn't that mean sshd isn't installed? So the easy fix is apt-get install sshd..... right? ohhh I remember now! I had to install ssh-server.... thank you Stephen... openssl . I thought it was openssl-server I hap to install but it nolonger is in the repositories. :-)~MIKE~(-: On Wed, Apr 9, 2014 at 1:33 PM, Michael Havens wrote: > I attempted to transfer a file from a virtual machine to the host with > less than stellar results: > > root@LFS:/# scp mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-2.24/binutils2.24.run > bmike1@192.168.0.4:/home/bmike1/Documents > ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.4 port 22: Connection refused > lost connection > root@LFS:/# > > I remember this happened before in another situation and there is a > solution but can't remember that solution.
