Currently, I am running Haiku in Vmware Fusion 4, and it works beautifully… the only problem is that I don’t have a way to transfer files from the host machine the the guest machine. The host is Mac OS X Lion (10.7) and the Guest is Haiku (obviously).
Firstly, is there a decent, free way to transfer files back and forth between host and guest? (keep in mind that currently, vmware does not have any support for Haiku - file sharing is not an option for haiku).
Secondly, because there is no filesharing within Vmware Fusion 4, how can I accomplish file transferring between Haiku and Mac OS X? I tried Macintosh File Server, but I can’t figure out the software, and it’s a really old piece of software - suppose to run on Mac OS X 10.5. I’ve tinkered with mediatomb, and I get nothing. And none of the web browsers in haiku support afp:// protocols, so I can’t connect that way…
So I’m really at a loss. FTP is an option, but I have no idea how to set one up for free…
Though I haven’t file shared from BeOS (or even Haiku for that matter) in a long time; there are various options out there with a lot of them in questionable working condition (by the looks of it).
If you’re not afraid of the commandline you could use SSH (via Terminal) and use SCP (secure copy) to transfer files back-n-forth. It’s not that hard to learn to do and after a few tries you’ll get the hang of it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_copy
