WebDAV? Could you serve legacy SMB from the host? Maybe. I never used NFS, so I don’t know of any possible pitfalls. But maybe I should at least try. As for the legacy SMB on the host: Would that mean I expose security holes once I am in an unknown network (like WLAN in a restaurant)? > > For only a few files, or to copy complicated error messages precisely, netcat > (nc) should always work. I would need to regularly access files on my host from the guest for editing. It would be good if mounting / unmounting the host volumes on the guest wouldn’t be to complicated, command line / shell script is o.k. For best Finder integration I guess the legacy SMB approach would work in the most seamless way. Am I right here? Thanks and kind regards, Lars
