I have a KVM guest running on a server accessing it via virt-manager. I'm running the guest from my_pc. server has a public IP address and both my_pc and guest can ssh it. guest has a 168.192.x.x IP behind server's NAT. server is running Ubuntu 14.04 Server and both my_pc and guest are running Ubuntu 14.04.

Running 

ssh -R 12345:localhost:22 me_at_server@server

on guest, and 

ssh -L 23456:localhost:12345 me_at_server@server

on my_pc, I was able to ssh guest from my_pc simply by 

ssh -p 23456 me_at_guest@localhost

as described here.

However, I am not able to scp anything from my_pc to guest. I have tried the master connection approach described here by adding the config both on my_pc and guest, but no success.

How can I copy files from my_pc to the KVM guest and back?

    Port selection is with capital -P for scp. – Ralph Rönnquist Mar 03 '16 at 03:05
  • thanks @RalphRönnquist ! that worked. I was doing scp -p 23456 my_local_file_on_my_pc.zip me_at_guest@localhost, whereas putting a capital -P did the magic.

    Is this an ok way to scp?
