Moving files with virtual machines
You can move files
between virtual machines in several ways:
-
You can copy files using network utilities as you would
between physical computers on your network.
To do this between two virtual machine:
-
Both virtual machines must be configured to allow access
to your network. Any of the networking methods
(host-only, bridged and NAT) are appropriate.
-
With host-only networking, you copy files from the
virtual machines to the host and vice-versa, since
host-only networking only allows the virtual machines
see your host computer.
-
With bridged networking or NAT enabled, you can copy
files across your network between the virtual machines.
-
You can create a shared drive, either a virtual disk
or a raw partition, and
mount the drive in
each of the virtual machines.
