Hey guys,

Hope u can help. Basically have jus downloaded vmware v6.0 and installed solaris 10 on there as guest o/s. Now, usually when I have ftp'd in past I have used command prompt in windows to open the IP on the unix so I can transfer files. However, no ip in this solaris 10 so how can I set up this IP on the unix in vmware? Or is there an easier way to transfer these files over?

Cheers

With VMware you should be able to set up a shared "drive" on the host.

But, your guest VM should have an IP, unless you set it up to share the host's. There is a NAT option in VMware.

I don't have my VMware machine handy, or I'd give more explicit info. Check the help docs.
