VMWare: Network: Ftp: Local: How to ftp between host and client
operating system with no network?
---
Steps: Overview:
1. -Goto the VMWare client operating system (e.g. Linux), and change
to NAT
1. -select from menu option 'Edit'
2. -select from list 'Virtual Machine Settings'
3. -select from list 'NIC 1'
4. -in the right pane,
enable radio button 'NAT'
(used to share the host's IP address)
5. -click button 'OK'
2. -Make sure the guest operating system (e.g. Linux) gets
now an IP address (from the DHCP server)
---
Login as root
su
---
e.g. in Linux, open a console, and type the command
dhclient
(or try 'pump')
---
e.g. in Sun Solaris, open a console, and type
ifconfig pcn0 dhcp
---
This will or should assign an IP address to this guest operating
system
(you might get 'host name lookup failure')
3. -If you now type in the guest operating system
ftp <IP address of your host operating system>
then you should get an anonymous ftp connection
via which you can e.g. send files.

This worked here successfully in VMWare Sun Solaris v9 as a guest
operating system, connecting via ftp with the host operating system
Microsoft Windows XP running VMWare v4.0.5 for Windows workstation.
---
Worked OK in:
-Linux Debian v3
-Linux Red Hat v8
-Linux TurboLinux v8
-Linux RedHat v9
-Linux Mandrake v9
-Sun Solaris v9
---
Not working yet in:
-Linux SuSE v9
