I don't know how VMWare does it, but under VirtualBox it's easy to make a folder on the host OS available to the guest OS as a network share. On VirtualBox, it's \\vboxsvr\share, where 'share' is the share name. On my system, I make /home/jhall available as \\vboxsvr\jhall. This works great to work on files from a virtualized Windows, but use my regular email client (on Linux) access them so I can email docs to people. (I use VirtualBox to run Windows, so I can use Visio at work.) I know you weren't interested in using the network bridge, but there you are anyway ... :-) -jh ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
