On the other hand, if you're unfamiliar with it, there are various ways it can go wrong.
I don't use any of the typical desktops, that is, Gnome, Unity, KDE, and such, but don't they have file browsers that will see the Windows shares? Also, there should be the option in VirtualBox, once you install VirtualBox tools, to set up sharing in some way or another, though I've not done it that way--ah--if it's a virtual machine, use bridged, rather than host networking, and download and install WinSCP on the Windows box--I don't think you have to install it, I *think* there's a binary that can just sit on your desktop. That makes it easy, you can then just scp it, with the WinSCP program, to your Linux machine. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Anya: For a thousand years I wielded the powers of the Wish.
