Question

I have a use case where I occasionally want to copy a single file from my host machine to the Vagrant guest.

Answer 1

As default, the first vagrant instance use ssh port as 2222, and its ip address is 127.0.0.1 (You may need adjust the port with real virtual host)

==> default: Forwarding ports...
    default: 22 (guest) => 2222 (host) (adapter 1)

So you can run below command to copy your local file to vagrant instance. password is the same as username which is vagrant.

scp -P 2222 your_file vagrant@127.0.0.1:.

You can also copy the file back to your local host.

scp -P 2222 vagrant@127.0.0.1:/PATH/filename .
