I recommend access the file from Ubuntu instead of starting from Windows and copy to Ubuntu. From there you can cp the file.

Please add screenshot to the question instead of as a link. Are you triSurface folder exist? Are you sure you want it there? Probably you want personal files on your home folder.

@ Marco. dont use /TriSurface but use TriSurface/rest/of/the/path instead. That should solve your problem.

On my drive I setup a separate 9 GB NTFS partition for files to be indirectly shared between Ubuntu (/mnt/e) and Windows 10 WSL (drive letterE:). I did this after exhausting all other methods of direct file sharing. This is something all dual-boot users might want to consider.

First, please do not copy text as pictures.
Second, you're attempting to copy the file to /triSurface, which is probably not a directory that exists, nor should it exist.
Your users files are typically in /home/username/, often abbreviated ~.
You probably want to copy the file to ~/triSurface/, not /triSurface. If ~/triSurface does not exist, you can create the directory with mkdir ~/triSurface.
In general only root is able to modify files outside of /tmp and your home directory. /tmp is, as name indicates, used only for temporary files, and not intended for persistent storage.

Use :
cp /mnt/c/Users/leewp/Desktop/cylinder3.stl triSurface/
Because you are already on the path. And the triSurface already excist.
Except if you really want to make /triSurface. Which i would not recommend.

Full PATH of the file would then be : "/home/marcolwp/OpenFOAM/marcolwp-5.0/run/mySim/EstaMesh/constant/triSurface/cylinder3.stl"
