scp connection via ssh refused, but connection via ssh works

Question

I want to copy the file from MS-windows: D:/myfolder/b.csv to virtualbox Gnu/Linux /home/tester/Downloads

I can connect via ssh: ssh [email protected] -p 2222

but scp can't:
scp D:/myfolder/b.csv [email protected]:2222/home/tester/Downloads/b.csv

ssh: connect to host 127.0.0.1 port 22: Connection refused lost connection

That is not how you specify the port. (there is a clue in the error message) — ctrl-alt-delor

That's because you didn't specified the port like you did when ssh-ing. Use scp -P 2222 ...
