How to transfer files from Windows to Linux?

To analyze RNAseq data, I have installed Oracle VM VirtualBox on Windows, and want to call my files, including RNAseq files, on Linux. I also installed PUTTY and WinSCP. And I follow the instructions below: sudo apt-get update sudo apt install –y open ssh-server sudo service ssh status

To confirm the IP address of the Linux machine, I type the command: hostname -I in the terminal window and I get this error: command not found.

I searched and executed various commands to solve the problem, but I could not fix this error and execute the next commands related to file transfer. D o you have any suggestions? Plz consider that Im beginner to linux. Thank you.

Use WSL2 and save yourself the trouble with these VMs. There is extensive docs over at Microsoft.
