I am connected to windows machine via a VPN network. I installed openssh server on windows machine. From Ubuntu machine, I can connect using:

ssh windowsmachine@ipaddress

However:

scp windowsmachine@ipaddress:D:\MyFolder\myprogram\ . does not trigger any error but does not copy anything.

Now connecting on windows machine and try to ping ubuntu machine:

ping 10.x.x.x (ubuntu ip) does not work (time out)

Same thing for:

scp ubuntumachine@ipaddress:/home/ubuntumachine/Downloads/

From reading over your notes, it would seem like you do not have network connectivity to the ubuntu machine.

I would definitely make sure that you're able to PING or at least able to reach it over any other kind of network ports depending on your infrastructure.

ICMP pings could be blocked, so that may be normal for your use case. This is why reaching over a different port may be better, just depending.

I would also recommend using WinSCP as the application. Just eliminate any configuration errors.

I hope this helps; cheers!
