Adding file from windows desktop to virtual linux server's directory

[keshk]

As what the title says, I want to send 2 files currently on my window's desktop to a virtual linux server I'm to log into. Anyone can help guide how I can do this. Thank you.

Chances are high, that this linux VM has openssh installed and running.
Which (usually) means you can copy files via scp and/or sftp.

Popular sftp/scp clients for this from a windows platform are:
WinSCP
FileZilla

Hi I downloaded FileZilla. Can I get some guidance on how to use it.

1.Regarding the virtual server I log into, I first log in with a userid and password.
2.Following that , I need to key in name@147.***.**.***
3.And then I need to enter another userid + pasword to get into the directory where I want to place my files from windows.
The first part I am able to do. I don't get it as to where I input the details for 2 and 3 in FileZilla. I tried re-entering the information
at the same spot as no.1 but I get error messages. So I believe I am doing it wrong. Any idea? Tnks for guidance.

Probably you do have a regular user account and the directories access is denied, because your user doesnt have permissions for them.

While you have a shell, can you call these two commands (with your directory of course) and paste the output here in CODE tags?

id
ls -lad <DIRECTORY_YOU_WANT_TO_ACCESS>

I got the following outputs.

id
uid=1000(name) gid=1000(name) groups=1000(name)
ls -lad
drwxrwxr-x 2 name name 4096 Nov 21 23:55 LAB6
