I am using ESXi server and run VMs using vSphere client. I was using shared folders options in VMware but I cannot find this option in these VMs now. How can I create a shared folder or how can I transfer files between VMware virtual machines easily? Thanks.
If you only need to transfer files from the host to the guest, the simplest solution is to create an ISO image and attach it to the virtual CD/DVD drive. For example, on Linux, the following command creates an ISO image foo.iso from the bar directory, preserving long file names (-J).
genisoimage -o foo.iso -J bar
If you need something more complex than that, ESXi has no such built-in method, it's best to set up a VM for such things with an (S)FTP, SMB or NFS service.

I need to copy files from one computer to another, but they are not on the same subnetwork. I need to use two different VPN connections to access the two computers. Can I transfer the files between them without using a third-party servers like Dropbox, and without downloading files on my PC, disconnecting from the first VPN, connecting to the second VPN, and uploading files on the target computer?
The solution is using this marvellous piece of software: https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole

I have recently set up RStudio on an AMI ec2 instance using the process generously laid out by Louis Aslet from his website. But in an embarrassing turn of events I can't access the data I need because it resides on my personal computer. I am new to cloud computing and have 0 functional knowledge of Linux, but I do know SQL, and R well. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried the "Upload" button in the "Files" window of Rstudio?
use scp in terminal.
To put files from your remote server
Example: if the files are located locally in ~/mylocalfolder and you want to put them in /home/rstudio/mydata you would execute in terminal:
scp ~/mylocalfolder/*.csv ubuntu#<your address>:/home/rstudio/myData/
Note that if you want to access them under a different user, eg, rstudio, you need to change owners on the files. Use chown
To grab data from your remote server
Example: if the files are located on /home/rstudio/mydata and you want to put them locally in ~/mylocalfolder you would use
scp ubuntu#<your address>:/home/rstudio/myData*.Rda ~/mylocalfolder
I use the RStudio AMI all the time and what works for me is to use Dropbox. I can't remember exactly how I did it but I think I may have started the shell from within RStudio and installed Dropbox from the command line.

My host operating system is Ubuntu 12.04, in which I have VirtualBox installed. Then I have two Windows 7 guest machines configured in the VirtualBox. I need to communicate between the two Windows machines. I have tried using Bridged Networking and Internal Networking with reference to the following article:
http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html
I used the same network name for both networking types in my experiments. However, I'm still unable to ping from one Windows machine to the other. If there is anyone who has done this, please give me some guideline how to do so.
Thank you.
It should work with Bridge networking, when both virtual boxes (and eventually also the host) will be on the same LAN.
HOWEVER, Notice that typically Windows will respond to ping request ONLY if there is at least one shared folder! If you don't have any shared folders, Windows will not return the ping, and that's where the problem may be.
So I suggest you share a folder on both Windows machines, set them up with bridge networking and try to ping again.
Hope that help!
Perhaps you could try the suggestions here.
Working solution involves a combination of Bridged Adapter + NAT + Host-only Adapter.

Is it possible to run more than one virtual machines on my PC using virtual box/ vmware/ virtual pc etc and connecting all of them together? So if i write an application like a chat program or something else, it treats running image as separate machine.
All machines should have different IP addresses and they could have different OS as well.
Please tell me how can i do this.
You will have to start with a machine that has loads of RAM and CPU power. Other than that there is nothing difficult. All you have to do is install virtual box(Freely available) And download several Linux flavors(You can use windows too) mount the drives in virtual box and start creating the machines. You can start all of them together if you want to and they will have different IP addresses.

Is there a way to serve a site off my personal computer to other computers on my network?
I have a website that I created that I would like to have others in the same building be able to access it, but not over the internet. I would also not like to have to purchase a domain name.
You can have users access a site on your internal network by running some HTTP Server like Apache HTTPD (an easy installer is included in WampServer) or Microsoft IIS.
If you go the WampServer route, it has an option for making your site available to other computers ("Put Online"); this exposes the website to any computer which can reach yours. Other people in your building would be able to type your local IP address into their web browser and access your site.
For example, if your local IP address is 192.168.0.101, users should be able to access your site using a URL like this: http://192.168.0.101/
Yes you can do that. you need to host your web site in your local computer and then others in your local network can access it using the ip address.
