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

Another option like Dan linked to:

   vagrant plugin install vagrant-scp
   vagrant scp [vm_name]:<remote_path> <local_path

and if you need to do the opposite its

 vagrant scp <local_path> [vm_name]:<remote_path> 

You can use vagrant status to get the name of the VM

Current machine states:

default                   running (virtualbox)

Where default is the name of the VM in my case.
