Files from HDD in VM

[velja27]

Is there a way to use/transfer files from hdd in VirtualBox?

Virtualbox has a way to share a host folder with a guest. However, since that can be hard to get going, I usually use SSH or FTP instead.

For FTP, install proftp on Linux and FileZilla on Windows.

For SSH, install ssh-server on Linux and FileZilla on Windows.

You can also use NFS and the Microfot Sevices for Unix (NFS) is a free download form Microsoft:
