Question

How can i fix that?

Answer 1

You don't provide many details. Without a shared folder this can be achieved with scp and ssh if you have ssh key access fully set up. Substitute {mcs["user"]}@{host}.local with your username and VM name as appropriate. Substitute ubuntu.py with your python file

scp ubuntu.py {mcs["user"]}@{host}.local:. 
ssh {mcs["user"]}@{host}.local python3 ubuntu.py
