Data exchange/NFS between Linux and OsX?

[nesco]

Hello everybody,
since we are not able to share files between the host (OsX) and Linux installed into the VM, was just wondering whether anybody has succeeded somehow.
Network under Linux is working, OsX and Linux are seen as two different machines (they have two different IPs) and under Linux I'm able to mount remotely exported directory in my local network via NFS. This works very fine
However, i didn't manage to nfs-mount between OsX and Linux. Anybody had better results?
As far as I saw, one can not ssh either.

nice day to everybody

it works

As long as you have networking setup correctly in the Linux guest, there shouldn't be any problems. I was able to export an nfs directory from the FC5 Linux guest, and mount it on the OSX host without problems:
On the Linux guest:
/etc/exports:
/home (rw,no_root_squash)

/etc/init.d/nfs start

Make sure your iptables are configured to allow the traffic.

On the OSX host:
mount_nfs -P -L <guest ip>:/home /mnt

Done.

Thanx a lot bbraun!

Don't have my MBP right now but will try as soon as possible what you suggested.
