To send a file to your virtual machine during an SSH connection, you can use the scp (secure copy) command.

The process is as follows:

1. Open a terminal or command prompt on your local machine and navigate to the directory where the file you want to transfer is located.

2. Use the scp command to copy the file to your virtual machine. The syntax is as follows:

scp <filename> <username>@<IP address or hostname>:<destination directory>

For example:

scp testfile.txt myusername@192.168.1.100:/home/myusername/

This will transfer the file "testfile.txt" to the virtual machine with the IP address 192.168.1.100 and the username "myusername". The file will be placed in the "/home/myusername/" directory on the virtual machine.

1. Enter your password when prompted.

The file should now be transferred to the virtual machine. You can confirm by logging into the virtual machine and checking the destination directory.
