Send Files To A Virtual Machine...The Easy Way
In this tutorial, we will share files from host to guest in a VirtualBox virtual machine, by creating our own .iso files using free tools downloaded from the web, specifically BurnAware Free, then mounting the created .iso as a virtual optical disc in VirtualBox. In this instance, we use a Windows client and guest, although the method is universally applicable. We also briefly overview the option to burn a physical disc from the file we create.
