[SOLVED] Mapping Network Drive

[zhshqzyc]

Hi, in my windows7 laptop, I installed a virtualbox 4.0 then Fedora 14 as OS.
Can I transfer the files from Linux system to windows syatem?
I mean can I create a relationship between two OS like mapping network drive?

Thanks.

Yes, it could be done as if you make a network connection between this machines. But if you want to do it between windows/linux I suppose you will need Samba.

If linux is a windows client, where Samba will be installed?Linux side or Windows side?

from Samba documentation :

Samba runs on Unix platforms, but speaks to Windows clients like a native. It allows a Unix system to move into a Windows "Network Neighborhood" without causing a stir. Windows users can happily access file and print services without knowing or caring that those services are being offered by a Unix host.
