Transferring files between "Virtual" Fedora & XP

[Castle_Romeo]

Yes,
I have Fedora 9 installed on a Windows Vista machine via VMWare Desktop.
Now how do I share files between the virtual Fedora & Vista as well as the local area network?

Please excuse me. I'm a newbie at Linux.

fedora , even in a virtual env. should be able to save to your windows drive /mnt/windows if it is mounted.
getting windows to save to fedora ????? but seeing as fedora can read and wright to your ntfs drive there should not be a big problem

VMware has a common folder for virtual machines. Getting them to work is another story.

Anyone know what settings I should use?

Transferring files? I use ssh/sftp for that matter. I also use Fedora Samba.

I've found the easiest way is to download WinSCP. It's a GUI scp client that runs in Windows.
Put it on the Windows side and you can swap files between the two with it.

The other easy way is with samba, but unless I need samba on the guest (or host, as I do it the other way around) WinSCP is easier and takes no configuration aside from putting in your username and password.
