I have been working with VMWare for quite a while but recently switched to Hyper-V on my Windows 8 portable. One thing I’m still struggling with is the ability to easily copy files from my host OS (Windows 8) to my guest OS which is running in Hyper-V. Currently I’m using Folder2Iso to quickly create ISO files which I then mount in my Hyper-V environment. If anyone knows of a better way of doing this – please leave a comment.
Why don't you just RDP to your machine, and mount your local drive (folder) to the RDP session? Or just use the copy-paste using RDP?
ReplyDeleteYou can also make a shared folder on your host, and access it on your Hyper-V guest..
Makes sense, no?
Check this out... this is how I do it and it's much easier. Also enables RDP connections which makes copy/paste super easy:

Copy-VMFile is a new PowerShell cmdlet in Hyper-V 2012 (R2?)

Alexander - That will work, assuming your guest and host are on the same network. They may not be, however.
