    Hyper-V vs VMWare (In context of copying files from host to guest)


    I know that when copying files from host to guest, "DataExchangeHost.exe" is used to exchange data.. now this happens when we are using Hyper-V as as a hypervisor... my question is what is the similar executable in case of using VMWare as a hypervisor instead of Hyper-V?



    Note: this post (https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/57roh5/what_is_dataexchangehostexe/) answered by u/oftheterra explains well what "DataExchangeHost.exe" does.

    Secure file share with between host and hyper-v guest

    I have a windows 10 host running hyper-v. I want to share the files that are on the host securely with a hyper-v vm without having to copy the files, i.e. the file share is on the host not the guest.

    Current method is to set up a file share on the host and disable authentication for ALL file shares, this is so that I do not need to store the host account
    credential on the VM which would be a risk. I then set up a internal virtual switch in hyper-v and disable files sharing protocal on ALL other network interfaces on the host. I not sure this is secure but its defiantly not very elegant for such a seeming
    simple problem.

    I can see it causeing problems in the future when we need another files share on the host for a differnet reason.

    Is there a simpler, less invasive way to do this?

    How do I transfer files from Windows 10 host to Windows XP guest in Hyper-V?

    Hi Larry,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    Transferring files from a host OS to a guest OS in Hyper-V can be done through multiple ways. You may want to refer
    to the suggestion by H Shakir on the thread
    How to setup files and
    folders sharing between Hyper-V host and guest operating system     and see if it helps.



    However, if you have further queries regarding the same, I would suggest you to post your query in the
    TechNet Forums, where we have support professionals well equipped with the
    knowledge on Hyper-V.
