无法使用 Windows 子系统将本地文件 wsl ubuntu 终端传输到远程服务器

Question

I have a file called test1.zip in /mnt/c/Users/test/ folder of my local laptop [in which ubuntu windows subsystem for linux is installed]. Local ubuntu terminal WSL name is lauda

Now, I would like to transfer this zip file called test1.zip to my remote server named stuff .

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL COMMANDS ARE TRIED FROM MY LOCAL LAPTOP WSL SCREEN [ubuntu screen]

So, I tried the below command from my WSL [local laptop ubuntu WSL terminal]

scp user1@lauda:/mnt/c/Users/test/test1.zip user1@stuff:/home/test/codes/test1

and got the error ssh: Could not resolve hostname lauda: Name or service not known

So I tried the below [replacing the lauda local laptop ubuntu terminal hostname with its IP]

scp user1@172.xx.xxx.xxx:/mnt/c/Users/test/test1.zip user1@stuff:/home/test/codes/test1

this resulted in error as ssh: connect to host 172.xx.xxx.xxx port 22: Connection refused

Now I tried the same command as above but in opposite way as shown below

scp user1@stuff:/home/test/codes/ user1@lauda:/mnt/c/Users/test/test1.zip

and got the below error

ssh: Could not resolve hostname lauda: Temporary failure in name resolution

Later, I tried with IP address

 scp user1@stuff:/home/test/codes/ user1@172.xx.xxx.xxx:/mnt/c/Users/test/test1.zip

And I got the below error

ssh: connect to host 172.xx.xxx.xxx port 22: No route to host lost connection

Later, I tried the below commands as well

scp /mnt/c/Users/test/test1.zip user1@stuff:/home/test/codes/

and got an error scp: /home/test/codes/test1.zip: Permission denied

So, I again tried like below

scp user1@stuff:/home/test/codes/ /mnt/c/Users/test/test1.zip 

and got an error scp: /home/test/codes: not a regular file

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL COMMANDS ARE TRIED FROM MY LOCAL LAPTOP WSL SCREEN [ubuntu screen]

How can I transfer local files/folders from my local ubuntu WSL terminal to remote server?

scp /mnt/c/Users/test/test1.zip user1@stuff:/home/test/codes/ is the closest attempt to working. The error you get could be due to one of two reasons:

Firstly user1 does not have permissions to write to /home/test on stuff - makes sense as usually only the test user would be able to write there. (Note that the test user on your WSL instance is not the same profile the test user on the remote.)

Secondly the /home/test/codes/ folder may not even exist yet.

Instead (if you know test 's password) copy as the test user :

scp /mnt/c/Users/test/test1.zip test@stuff:/home/test/codes/

Or copy to user1 's home directory (after ensuring you have created /home/user1/codes/

scp /mnt/c/Users/test/test1.zip user1@stuff:/home/user1/codes/
