I had it backwards of course: it's easier to treat the vmware guest (Hilda) as a server and mount a directory there using (in this case) sshfs than to crank up a guest vmware and have it login to the main machine.
Clockwise from left that's Hilda running Ubuntu 8.04 [1], a rails sandbox app, ssh to Hilda, and Finder showing off the snazzy sshfs mount to brian@hilda's home directory.
And now that I've used sshfs once I'm wondering about using it again. This might make EDI file transfer from the (solaris) FTP server a whole bunch easier for example ...
[1] With Gnome disabled. Jeezum Crow, t's amazing how many resources that thing chews up.
I am trying this: I built a Parallels VM with Ubuntu. Install Ruby and Rails on that. Share a directory on my laptop with the VM that contains the code I'm working with.
