Just saw this thread and am glad you noodled it out. I've had quite a few of those "D'OH!" moments myself lately. But here's a thought: The guest and Host do not need to transfer files to each other via networking. A better solution is to set up a host to guest drive mapping. That way, you can still transfer files, with as much security as you need, with a simple cp. I'm not a fan of VMware as I use qemu, but the features set is the same. You simply tell VMplayer on the HOST to share a folder. This folder then is a mount point on the Linux GUEST. A script or crontab can then periodically drop files to the host - no network needed. https://pubs.vmware.com/workstation-9/index.jsp#com.vmware.ws.using.doc/GUID-AACE0935-4B43-43BA-A935-FC71ABA17803.html Have fun, -Ed _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
