Facing issue while connecting VM BOX IP using WINSCP

[Manish Rao]

Hi VM Team,

I am using windows 10, and Virtual Machine version 5.0.16. In VM box I am using ubuntu.
but while connecting VM BOX IP using WINSCP, I am getting "Network Error: Connection to "192.168.56.101 timed out" error.
Somebody told me it's due to McAfee Antivirus, and need to add exception for VM box in McAfee Antivirus.
But here my problem is, as I am using my company's laptop and cannot uninstall or make any changes or disable McAfee Antivirus.
Please tell me some solution.

Please find attached document with the screenshots.

Thanks,
Manish Rao

Please post a VM log file. With the VM fully shut down, right click it in GUI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (ONLY) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

As you mentioned, please find attached log file for the same.

You posted in "Windows Guests", but in fact your guest is Ubuntu (64bit), so moving this topic to "Linux Guests".

WinSCP is a FTP client right? And you are evidently using "host only" networking mode. Are you really trying to FTP files from the host PC? What's wrong with GA shared folders?

If you are trying to contact some other FTP server: "host only" mode, as the name suggests, only allows you to communicate with the host. If you want to FTP from inside the guest to an outside source then you probably need to be using bridged networking, as I'm not sure NAT will work.

Yes, WINSCP is a FTP client agent.

I just want to transfer few files from windows to ubuntu, that's it.

Please suggest me the alternative.

I already did: install the Guest Additions and configure a shared folder or two.
