I have a very basic question. I have installed 3 VMs of Cent OS 7 using Virtual Box.
I can ping the 3 VMs from my windows host.
I have also (tried) to install cygwin on my windows host.
I plan to run the VMs in headless mode.
now how can I edit the files inside of my VMs from inside windows?
can I SSH into a VM from my windows terminal (using cygwin) and then edit the files?
Can you please give me the steps so that I can setup this configuration.
I believe there is some complexity of key exchanges and setup before I can login into my VMs from windows.
I also tried to download and install cygwin but it gave me a very long list of software to install... what is the minimum critical components from cygwin which are needed to meet my requirements above?
(BTW, is cygwin really needed? can't I ssh into centos just using windows?)

Re: Edit files in CentOS VM from Windows
If you only need to ssh then look for Teraterm v.4.x or use PuTTY for Windows.

Use Putty and FileZilla Client (in SFTP mode).
Be sure your VM's are setup in BRIDGE MODE for their networking.
