You need a SSH server on the Windows box for this to work. The most easy way would probably be to do the reverse: Install (start/unblock port) the SSH server on the Linux machine and transfer the file with a Windows client like Putty. – Eike Aug 18 '10 at 17:04
This would be a great question for superuser. – karlphillip Aug 18 '10 at 17:08

Why not just add MyDocuments as a shared folder with your VM? That would simplify things a lot.

Regardless, you need something like WinSCP on your Windows box or else there's nothing to really ssh to.

Because i have my script ".sh" who make a backup and compress this backup and at the end of my script i would to copy this compress file to a windows folder.

scp needs to talk to an ssh server on the remote end. – Douglas Leeder Aug 19 '10 at 10:28
