Using rsync, copy both the file and the directory to the remote Linux VM where the SSH daemon is running.

Sure, I can help you with that.

To copy a file and a directory using rsync to a remote Linux VM where the SSH daemon is running, you can use the following command:

rsync -avz /path/to/file /path/to/directory user@remote_host:/path/to/destination

Here, replace `/path/to/file` and `/path/to/directory` with the actual paths of the file and the directory you want to copy, respectively. Replace `user` with the username of the account you want to use to connect to the remote host, and replace `remote_host` with the IP address or the hostname of the remote Linux VM where the SSH daemon is running. Finally, replace `/path/to/destination` with the path to the destination directory on the remote host where you want to copy the file and the directory.

You will be prompted to enter the password for the remote user. Once you enter it, the file and the directory will be copied to the remote host using rsync.
