 Qemu USB emulation:

 Tried it using -usbdevice /dev/sdb1 command line option.
 Does not seem to be working.

 Virtual network access allows you to use samba or nfs from within the
 virtual os.


 Unfortunately i am not familiar with samba or nfs, I know about their
 existence though. Have never tried them out and don't want to at the moment
 as i believe the learning curve to start it is a bit high.



 For file transfer you may find ssh easier.



 Indeed ssh is easy and i made it work. However i still do not know how to
 copy using ssh from putty into a windows folder.


P.S. : sorry for the typos

What is the error that you received. Did you first boot theVM with -usb
option. If yes, then you can use the add usb from host using usb_add devname
at the qemu prompt.


 Indeed ssh is easy and i made it work. However i still do not know how to
 copy using ssh from putty into a windows folder.

You can use the SSHSecureShellClient-3.2.9 to copy files using SSH. I guess
there is a similar software for putty too.

[Ilugc] Reading data in a virtual OS

2008-12-23 Thread abdullah abdul Khadir
Hi,
 I needed to run windows and other operating systems on my debian etch
system and hence i installed qemu which was referred in one of the previous
mails in this mailing list . What I would very much like to know is if there
is some way of reading data from an external source from within a virtual
system? For example suppose I am running windows
on qemu can I access some part of the debian file system from within
windows? Also can i attach a usb and read the data from the usb?

Virtual network access allows you to use samba or nfs from within the
virtual os.

For file transfer you may find ssh easier.

For transferring a single file you may find netcat easier still.

All of this applies to any two computers connected via a network of
course. In the virtual case, the network is virtual and so transfers
are significantly faster. :)
