VMSMount: https://github.com/eduardocasino/vmsmount <https://github.com/eduardocasino/vmsmount> (I've never tried it) EtherDFS: http://etherdfs.sourceforge.net/ <http://etherdfs.sourceforge.net/> (Mount a sharable disk image on the local network) NetDrive: http://www.brutman.com/mTCP/ <http://www.brutman.com/mTCP/> (Mount disk and floppy images across the LAN or WAN) SSH2DOS: http://sshdos.sourceforge.net/ <http://sshdos.sourceforge.net/> (Never tried it) Or when creating the VM, make sure to use a fixed size VMDK. then when the virtual machine is not running, you can mount the virtual drive through the system loopback device. Or, setup a web server on the host system and use curl, wget or one of the available DOS web browsers to download the file from the host system. > > Thanks, > John > > _______________________________________________ > Freedos-user mailing list > Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
