It is refused because you probably have firewall preventing you from connecting. So, both on host and guest, you need UFW. Use it for simplicity sake. Then do sudo ufw allow ssh on both host and guest. If you have ssh client/server on both installed and you got your IP addresses right, you will be able to use ssh. Or, as Demosa suggested, scp.
