I've never had that requirement until recently when I was working
with a
windows VM and needed to get a file in (or maybe out). I ended up
using
winscp which was much simpler. I'm usually using Fedora in the VMs,
so
transferring files is easy.
*Transferring* files and *sharing* files are not the same thing. I
specifically say "sharing" because I mean having two (or more) systems
accessing a common pool of files, not manually copying them back and
forth.
