Why We Are No Longer Developing for the iPad

I really hate using WinSCP for file transfer between Windows and the guest OS. If Windows shipped with a native sshfs-alike, I'd probably be ok, but I really prefer native Ubuntu development.

There are lots of alternative solutions to share file systems between a VM and host ... is that all you're trying to solve? VirtualBox has it built in.

No, I'm also trying to share between my laptop and a remote server. (actually, I very rarely use VMs hosted locally)

I think you confused everyone with your terminology in your parent comment - "guest OS" is VM speak.

I use a samba share, it works a treat and in the 3-4 years I've been running it I've never had much maintenance on it outside of the occasional update to the OS.

Using (boot2)docker/docker-machine+virtualbox and mapping a volume to the host OS (which is trivial) might be viable.

I use it on OS X to do linux-only stuff (such as loop-mounting an ext4 image).

I don't have a click&go solution because I don't have this problem, but you could certainly serve a Samba share out of the guest OS or something.

What's wrong with VirtualBox shared folders? Also, Windows-native sshfs-alike is SMB.

You can map drives from a client over Remote Desktop if that's at all helpful.

I use cygwin for ssh/scp, even if I don't need cygwin for anything else

I run Fedora 21 w/ full screen Gnome 3 in VirtualBox, so I can use Linux desktop tools and no SCP is needed.

The touch screen even works with Gnome. Even rdp remoting into my Surface from my desktop to use the Linux guest has also been the best performing Windows to Linux remote control that I've used for the amount of setup time. On a gigabit network, it's really nice.
