Is it possible that a remote machine sends me a file on this address
192.168.1.5 ?
if not what is the address ?

Thank you for answer.

Do you have a SSHD server or FTP Daemon running on this host?
You could test with these commands to see if you get a connection to this host:

scp user@192.168.1.5
sftp user@192.168.1.5
ftp 192.168.1.5

scp user@192.168.1.5 sftp user@192.168.1.5 ftp 192.168.1.5

---> on the remote machine ?
Here is my problem in detail:
I have on my windows machine (which has a 197.xx.xx.xx IP address), virtual box. on virtual box I have one virtual machine Ubunto which has the IP address 192.168.1.5 (this address is not routable on the Internet), so if we do: ssh user@192.168.1.5
scp or it does not work ...
the virtual machine has an interface eth3 (192.168.1.5)

I found on the web:
Provided that remote computer has a communication
path to eth3/192.168.1.5 and you have something listening on that interface, i.e. a ftp server, which is not blocked by your firewall for eth3.

Have you more idea please ?
Thank you so much for help.

Did you set the adapter to "bridged" in VirtualBox? If yes, I found that closing down the interface and immediately starting it up again will make the virtual machine connectable. Of course, there must be a server listening!

Hello,

Thank you for answer :slight_smile: i have closing down the adapter bridge.. ifconfig return all interfaces expect eth3

!!!
Thank you so much.
Best Regards.
