You forgot the trailing ':' - the command should read:
scp toto4 elzouebi at 192.168.0.200:
(the colon is what scp uses to detect a remote location, apparently)

Is it a folder in the home folder of "elzouebi", i.e. is it
~elzouebi/sender ? Else you have to give the full path after the colon.

Is there a ssh server running on your home pc?

Why not go the inverse road? Copy the file from your pc with:

scp root at 192.168.0.202:/path/to/toto4 .

If you're on Windows, you can also use WinSCP for that.
