Re: sharing files between DF guest and Win host in VirtualBox

["Jelle Hermsen" <jelle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

But you could however use psftp (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html ), or sftp from cygwin to make the connection. If you want to go the length you could even install a Samba server on the DragonFly box and connect from the traditional Windows network neighbourhood (http://cisx1.uma.maine.edu/~wbackman/dragonfly-samba.html ). Or you could of course flip this around and use the Samba client from your virtual DragonFly box (http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/howtos/HowToMountWindowsShares/ ).

Cheers,

Hi,

I believe this is something that requires VBox additions to work in the guest, and they are not available for DFly yet.

I'm giving DragonFly a try, inside VirtualBox. The host OS is Windows XP 32-bit.

I want to share files between host and guest. How do I go about this?
