We've already installed openssh-server on your VMs. Therefore, you can copy your files to your VM through SSH using the following command on your own PC:

ssh -p <port_number> student@projgw.cse.cuhk.edu.hk

where port_number should be 13000 + your machine number. e.g. if you have 30a machine, the port should be 13030.

You can exit by crtl+d .

You may be prompted with "Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes". Just type "yes" and then input your password to login.

Similarly, you can use scp to transfer files between VM and your local PC.

Transfer the file from local to remote:

scp -P <port_number> user@hostname:\folder\filename student@projgw.cse.cuhk.edu.hk:c:\folder\filname

From remote to local:

scp -P <port_number> student@projgw.cse.cuhk.edu.hk:c:\folder\filname user@hostname:\folder\filename

where user@hostname is your local PC.

If you want to transfer a folder, you may need to add -r after the scp.

For more information about the scp , you can check man scp or online .
