I have installed Oracle VM VirtualBox on Windows, and want to call my files, including RNAseq files, on Linux. I also installed PUTTY and WinSCP. And I follow the instructions below:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install –y open ssh-server
sudo service ssh status
To confirm the IP address of the Linux machine, I type the command:
hostname -I, in the terminal window and I get this error: command not found.
I executed various commands, but I could not fix this error and execute the next commands related to file transfer. Do you have any solutions?
Plz consider that Im beginner to linux.
Thank you.
It seems like you are trying to set up an SSH connection between your Windows machine and Linux virtual machine in VirtualBox, but you are encountering an error while trying to retrieve the IP address of the Linux machine.
Here are some steps you can follow to troubleshoot this issue:
Hope this helps.
Peter Breuer thank you for taking the time to explain. As you said I'd installed it, but it still doesn`t work...
I wrote other commands too..
I am a little confused...
Ahshanul Haque Thank you for your explanation, by the command "ifconfig" it finally showed the ip address :D
Dear Peter Breuer You are right my problem was that I was not entering the directory correctly when calling the file. According to your second message and Ahshanul Haque guidance, I realized my mistake. And then with the "ip addr show" command, I have come to find my IP address.
As I said, I just started learning and because all the commands are new to me, I'm a little confused.
Thank you for your explanation. If you have any suggestions for me who am just starting out, I would greatly appreciate it.
Dear Peter Breuer Thank you very much I will check, it was very helpful. I have one more question, I would appreciate it if you could help me. In order to copy and past some commands in Linux, when I change my network mode from NAT mode to bridge from machine->settings->network->aptamer1 menu, my internet connection will be disconnected. Do you know any other way to prevent this from happening?
Yes I set up a VM on Windows. I ran the command you said and got this message:
No such file or directory.
I think if you look at the picture below you will understand better what I mean about changing the network mode.
Peter Breuer Thank you so much for your explanation, as i said i'm a beginner, and everything is new, i have to study more, and go through various commands to solve my problems.
You can use Filezilla, WinSCP, or use Samba.
Share the Linux directory with samba and map it on windows and share file among them.
