Quick way to access host directories from guest.
I assume you are running Linux on both host and guest.
1. OpenSSH server must be installed and running on host machine.
To install:
yay -S openssh
To start it now and enable it in autostart
sudo systemctl enable --now sshd
2. Start virtual machine (guest)
3. Check host IP
On host find IP which we will use to connect from guest:
ip a | grep "inet "
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
inet 192.168.42.106/24 brd 192.168.42.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute enp0s16f1u1
in this case IP is: 192.168.42.106
4. Connect from guest to host
PCManFM obviously supports SSH connections – like any other Linux file manager.
To connect, just type in the address bar:
ssh://USER@HOST_IP/remote/directory
For example:
ssh://napcok@192.168.42.106/home/napcok
Of course, you can keep such a connection in bookmarks
That’s all. Fast, convenient, flexible.
No need to bother with usergroups, headers, modules and kernel versions.
