How to get file to my virtual machine

[jzhang980]

1. copy the example file to my virtual machine.
   I tried type the code in my VM: cp example.cfg ~/stat157.cfg it didn't work because there was no file called example.cfg. Since the file is not big, I thought I could just make a new file called stat157.cfg in VM is much easier. So I typed vi stat157.cfg, inside the text editor I typed i, than I could type the context. After I finished, I typed :x to save and exit. Be careful this step, this command will be come up at the bottom, you need to scroll down to find it and enter. (I wasted long time to figure out where is my command)
2. But I still need transfer example.ipynb to my VM
   I tried type git clone http://github.com/MYACCOUNT/questionarie.git it shows error, coun't resolve the host 'github.com' while accessing... which reminds me maybe i couldn't connect it at home, because when I did yesterday install gspread at home it didn't work but it worked at school.
   I tried look up online http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11890740/git-error-couldnt-connect-to-host-while-accessing, I still didn't figured it out.
   Also I tried gspread.login('email','password') , it showed error too.
3. So does anybody know how to do it? Thank you!
