I usually use software on a windows machine, but now need to call one commandline executable that I only have a Linux version of. I installed a linux virtual machine, but I would like to be able to call the linux executable on the virtual machine from my windows commandline so that I can automate using it.
Does anybody know how to perform this? Thanks in advance.
There is one similar question I found, but I dont understand the answer. It looks like they set up some sort of connection between the host and the virtual machine already and then log on to it through "vmrun" to execute the command.
Another question was about doing this for two linux machines which doesnt solve it for me.
Oh maybe this is important: I run windows 7 and use oracle vm virtualbox to run a debian distribution on it.
-edit: so I need to set up an SSH connection to the virtual machine. I found a website that explains how to do it from a linux machine, might work the same way for windows hosts.
