Hi everybody, I have windows 10 as my main operative system, and i'd like to know how can I share files between it and tinycore? I've looked for a solution around, but couldnt find anything

Is TinyCore a VM or is it on a physically separate box?

Hi: In my opinion a TinyCore in a VirtualBox would be the easiest solution. The guest (tinycore) can exchange data via FTP/SSH or an
USB stick.
For the USB stick you need to install the virtual box extension pack on your host. (Win)

If you start from scratch than dual boot might be an option. But plse take note: Win10 and linux versions might have problems in a dual boot environment. (Bios and UEFI) Please gggle for more details!

Running TinyCore in a Docker container? I have no knowledge about that, but somebody else might?

good luck

Running TinyCore in a VMware VM is easier still with the open-vm-tools extension. Then you can mount host filesystem directories into your VM's filesystem directly, then use cp to transfer files.
