5 File transfer (VM to/from host)

Occasionally, you may want to transfer files to/from the virtual machine. Although we can set up SAMBA, it takes up more space. You can use WinSCP (also included in the deb4dev package), and perform file transfer this way. Just like with PuTTY, be sure to change the port number to 2222 or whatever you decide to use. Again, the host/IP should be localhost or 127.0.0.1. You also need to supply your username and password before WinSCP can connect to the virtual machine.

WinSCP should work out of the box without any special configuration.
