Communication between OSX and the guest OS

I'm using 10.5.3, with SuSE Linux as the Guest OS, and shared networking.

What I want to do is use scp to transfer data between the host and guest OS's.

Is that possible with shared networking? What setup do I need to do to get each OS to recognize the other as a valid host?

Thanks!

Check Firewall on both sides, and enable Remote login in Mac OS
The better solution is to use Bridged Ethernet, in this case, there will be no NAT between Mac and Suse

 

I'm not that far along, yet. My problem is much simpler. If I have two hostnames effectively sharing the same ethernet connection, how do I got from one to the other?

If I do

> scp file1 user@suseparallels:~

How does the mac know how to contact the guest OS? If I try it right now, I'll just get "suseparallels: host unknown."

 

sudo vi /etc/hosts
