What were you trying to do that didn't work?

I am trying to copy image from one VM to another. Both my VM's are in the same network

Following the article below

https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/podman-transfer-container-images-without-registry

trying the option from the above URL.

Or copy an image from one machine to another with this command:

$ podman image scp me@192.168.68.122::IMAGE you@192.168.68.128::

[root@rhel8 ~]# podman version
Client:       Podman Engine
Version:      4.4.1
API Version:  4.4.1
Go Version:   go1.19.6
Built:        Thu Jun 15 20:09:56 2023
OS/Arch:      linux/amd64
