cannot give some kind of sudo parameter to scp:

scp: /root//file.txt: Permission denied

The easy way would be:

scp file.txt root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/root/

The harder way would be something like:

ssh jlamsens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx sudo sh -c '"cat > /root/file.txt"' < file.txt

But this requires a no-password-given sudoer permission on 192.168.155.187
because even if you allocate a pseudo-terminal with "ssh -t", you're
still using the stdin stream for data, so sudo can't use it to ask you
for your password.
