A quick way to transfer a file to the home directory on a Vagrant VM

vagrant-scp.sh

#!/bin/sh
OPTIONS=`vagrant ssh-config | awk -v ORS=' ' '{print "-o " $1 "=" $2}'`

scp ${OPTIONS} "$@" || echo "Transfer failed. Did you use 'default:' as the target?"

vagrant-ssh.sh

#!/bin/bash
PORT=2222
if [ ${VAGPORT} ]; then
  PORT=${VAGPORT}
fi
VAGRANT_GEM=$(dirname `gem which vagrant`)/..
VAGRANT_KEY=${VAGRANT_GEM}/keys/vagrant
chmod 600 ${VAGRANT_KEY}
ssh -i ${VAGRANT_KEY} -p ${PORT} vagrant@localhost

#need to test this:
#OPTIONS=`vagrant ssh-config | awk -v ORS=' ' '{print "-o " $1 "=" $2}'`;
#ssh ${OPTIONS} localhost

I couldn't figure out how to use the scp script but I did find this answer about how to transfer files to a vagrant instance: "please note that unless you specifically want scp for some reason, the easiest way to transfer files from the host to the VM is to just put them in the same directory as the Vagrantfile - that directory is automatically mounted under /vagrant in the VM so you can copy or use them directly from the VM."

scp ${OPTIONS} FILES_TO_PUSH USER@SERVER:/PLACE_TO_PUT_EM

works.

Thanks @spyderman4g63 that is the easiest solution ever.

@colindean Thanks for the script.
usage: ./vagrant-scp.sh myfile.txt default:

Thanks @spyderman4g63. the shared vagrant folder was all I needed

Thank you @spyderman4g63. It works like a charm. Most easiest solution :)

@colindean thanks for this. really useful! learn something new every day!

I added NF to skip blank lines, not sure if would be a problem in the long run but you can avoid a trailing -o = %

... IdentitiesOnly=yes -o LogLevel=FATAL -o = %

Also works nicely with rsync:

OPTIONS=`vagrant ssh-config | awk -v ORS=' ' 'NF {print "-o " $1 "=" $2}'`
rsync -avz -e "ssh ${OPTIONS}" default:/tmp/test.txt ~/Downloads/

Thanks @geedew easiest answer I've found

Thanks @spyderman4g63 extremely easy way!

@spyderman4g63 👍 thanks!!

I get Host directive not supported as a command-line option error.
Solution is here https://gist.github.com/geedew/11289350

OPTIONS=`vagrant ssh-config | grep -v '^Host ' | awk -v ORS=' ' '{print "-o " $1 "=" $2}'`

For those who need sudo privilege, try $ vagrant sudo-rsync.

See: https://github.com/TypistTech/vagrant-sudo-rsync

For some reason, while using the vagrant-libvirt docker container with the recommended shell function, I had to tweak this a bit:

OPTIONS="$(vagrant-libvirt ssh-config | tr -d '\r' | tail -n +2 | head -n -1 | awk -v ORS=' ' '{print "-o " $1 "=" $2}')"

Anyway, this trick saved the day as vagrant-scp plugin isn't easily installable in the container.
Thanks a ton for sharing
