Share Files Between Ubuntu VM on Hyper-V and Windows 8

2015-03-19


I need to share files between Ubuntu VM and other Windows VMs on Hyper-V actually. But, the first solution which I could get it work was Sharing files between Ubuntu VM on Hyper-V and local Windows 8, then I copied files between local Windows 8 and other VMs on Hyper-V. However, I think the sharing ways should work between any Hyper-V VMs because I just used network sharing:

1: Create a shared folder on your local Windows 8, it is up to you what sharing level you want, but for me, I just simply shared to “everybody”;

2: Go to Hyper-V Ubuntu VM, Select Files icon:

3: In Files window, select Browse Network, to show all local area network computers which the Ubuntu VM can see:

image 4: Select the local Windows 8 computer which you set a shared folder on there, and you have to input user information which logon to the Windows 8 computer: image 5: Now you can see the Shared folder, and you can use this folder to share files between Ubuntu VM and local Windows 8, and then share files to other VM; (Actually if you can see other VMs in Ubuntu VM network window, you can directly share files between VMs) image
