Sorry for this question. This is my first time doing this.
Using the Windows 11 terminal app, the SCP command says the virtualmin-install.sh was uploaded but after doing an ls command, the file is not there. How can the virtualmin-install.sh be uploaded to a brand new VPS?

Using SCP is fine, not sure why you are not seeing it, maybe in a different directory then you think?
You can always ssh in to server, go to directory where you want the file to be and use:
wget https://download.virtualmin.com/virtualmin-install.sh
or curl if you prefer:
curl -O https://download.virtualmin.com/virtualmin-install.sh
if wget or curl is not installed on server just us apt install command
Happy Friday CTS!
My custom virtualmin-install.sh was actually uploaded to the new VPS.
But the file was not found due to my own cockpit error.
Because the file was placed in the root (/) directory instead of /root home directory It was hard to find, I panicked.
Basic Syntax
scp /path/to/local/file username@vps_ip:/path/to/remote/directory
My command
scp /home/download/virtualmin-install.sh root@vps_ip:/
Thank you for your feedback.
I really appreciate it.
Have a good weekend, CTS.
