accessing a shared folder in a OS X guest from the host

Post by mark.farnell »

After setting up the bridged network, Now I can ssh from host to the OS X guest.

Now I want the host to be able to access a shared folder in the OS X guest. How can I set this up? Is nfs the only way?

Thanks!

NFS, SMB, AFP, you name the network file sharing protocol, and it will work in OSX. VB's SF, well, that's described in the User Manual. Maybe you should also read Important notice regarding Mac OS X as Guest.
