how to copy files between a windows host and vmware linux guest OS by using the free sfk instant ftp server.

- download the free swiss file knife base from sourceforge.
- unpack the tool using winzip or unzip.
- open the Windows Command Line or a Linux shell.

1) on windows, download

      http://stahlworks.com/dev/sfk/sfk.exe

   or get it from sourceforge.

2) on linux, make sure that internet access is available, then say

   Ubuntu:
      wget http://stahlworks.com/dev/sfk/sfk
      chmod +x sfk

   Damned Small Linux:
      wget http://stahlworks.com/dev/sfk/sfk-lib5
      cp sfk-lib5 sfk
      chmod +x sfk

   to download and prepare sfk for linux.

3) finding out the IP of the vm linux system

   in Ubuntu, click at right top onto the network symbol:

   

   a popup opens, select therein the 2nd tab. the IP should appear.

   If the network symbol is not available in your Ubuntu,
   try applications / system tools / network diagnosis,
   and search therein for the eth0 interface.

   in DSL (Damned Small Linux), the IP is usually listed 
   in the upper right corner of the desktop, preceeded by "Host:".

   this article assumes that your vmware player running DSL
   is set to "Bridged" ethernet mode.

4) exchanging files between linux and windows

   Ubuntu:

   3.1. run the sfk instant ftp server on windows side, by

        sfk ftpserv -rw

   3.2. on linux, to download file foobar.zip from windows, say

        ./sfk ftp 192.168.80.2 get foobar.zip

   3.3. on linux, to send a file, say

        ./sfk ftp 192.168.80.2 put myfile.zip

   Damned Small Linux, Knoppix:

   4.1. run the sfk instant ftp server on linux side, by

        ./sfk ftpserv -rw -port=30199

   4.2. from windows, use the above ftp get/put commands
        against the IP adress which DSL told, for example:

        sfk ftp 192.168.178.23:30199 put myfile.zip
