Configure SSH servers on the VMs to be able transfer files from/to the host

Open /etc/ssh/sshd_config file

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Make sure that

PermitRootLogin yes is not commented
PasswordAuthetication yes is not commented
ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes is not commented
AllowUsers is commented

Save, quit and restart sshd

systemctl restart sshd.service

In VM network configuration choose the Host-Only Adapter, then run dhclient to get an IP address

dhclient enp0s3 -v

Now you can ssh or scp from the host machine as root using the IP address attributed by DHCP

ssh -v root@192.168.56.102 # for example
