Moving Files Between 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.
