Introduction

It is been always considered difficult to do networking between Linux and windows machine, this is because we are very much familiar with the operation of windows operating systems, and Linux does not work exactly as windows does.

Many times I have been asked by my fellow mates about, How to share files and folder in-between linux and a windows virtual machine in it, so I have decided to make a simple step by step tutorial for sharing files and folder between windows virtual machine running inside Linux machine.
