How to copy file from a Vagrant machine to localhost

Question

I want to copy a local file from a Vagrant machine to my localhost, but I am getting an error message:

ssh: connect to host 127.0.0.1

Answer 1

You should read the manual page for scp. The correct syntax is:

scp -P 2222 vagrant@127.0.0.1:/home/vagrant/devstack/local.conf .

The uppercase P is for "port". Lowercase is used to preserve modification times.
