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

Get IdentityFile and Port by using

vagrant ssh-config

scp -i IdentityFile_file -P Port vagrant@127.0.0.1:/file_dir dist_dir e.g.

scp -i /Users/xxxxx/tmp/vagrant/centos_6.5/.vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/private_key -P 2200  vagrant@127.0.0.1:/tmp/xxx .
