Re: [Qemu-devel] virtual FTP/WebDAV (was: windows xp under pclinuxos 2005)

[Rene Horn]

The creator of QEMU-Puppy seems to have some ideas solving this:
http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/qemupuppy/index.html#6.1.0

His first solution uses a modified FTP server from within the guest, but the modification seems a bit hackish.

His second solution uses tar and netcat, but that seems rather inelegant.

His third solution uses SMB under a Linux host, but doesn't work under Windows, ironically.

I'm also wondering why the user mode network stack won't work.

Hi Rene,

Your HowTo is quite nice and might be enough for most users, but it
depends on modifying the host-system, which needs admin/root privileges.
An internal virtual FTP server which serves a directory of the host
might be slower, but it would not need any changes on the host side.
(Think about portable OS in qemu on USB/Flash-Media, which could easily
export e.g. C:\Xchange or ~/xchange into a virtual FTP/WebDAV, which can
be used for fileexchange from allmost any guest.) That way you can build
a very portable sandbox, which can be run from various host systems.

With regards,
Jan
