Synchronized folders
The folder with the
Vagrantfile
on your host OS (this is
git-recipes/11-02
in Recipe 11-2) is available in your guest OS as
/vagrant
. This means that you can
share files among the two systems. The file created in host operating system:
# Host OS (e.g., Windows, Linux, OS X)
git-recipes/11-02/lorem.txt
is available in guest operating system under the name:
# Guest OS (Ubuntu 12.04)
/vagrant/lorem.txt
You can verify it with the following procedure:
1. Start the virtual machine with:
# Host OS (e.g., Windows, Linux, OS X)
$ vagrant up
2. Create the file in the host system with:
# Host OS (e.g., Windows, Linux, OS X)
$ echo lorem > lorem.txt
3. Open the SSH session with:
# Host OS (e.g., Windows, Linux, OS X)
$ vagrant ssh
4. List the contents of
/vagrant
directory with:
# Guest OS (Ubuntu 12.04)
$ ls /vagrant
As you can see the file
/vagrant/lorem.txt
is available within
the ssh session.
