I need to send a file from one WSL to another for a task I'm given. I tried to use scp command, but it requires me to get a wifi0 IP address for the network both devices are connected to, which I don't have.

enter image description here

I looked online and apparently WSL is in its own virtual ethernet sub-network and can't exactly send files to another device via Wi-Fi, however the other device does show the wifi0 data when I use the ifconfig command. I am very confused about the difference between the two devices and how one WSL can access wifi while the other can't.

  • Are you running Ubuntu on the WSL and if so what version?

  • "send a file from one WSL to another" -> Are the two WSL instances running on the same Windows machine or different systems? It sounds like different systems from the rest of the answer. Can both of the Ubuntu/WSL systems ping 8.8.8.8 successfully? If so, it seems they are both accessing WiFi. If not, then we can start by troubleshooting that issue. Please do include the output of wsl -l -v for all applicable installations. Thanks! Commented Apr 27, 2023 at 10:47
