How to access the Quickstart guest from your host through SSH (e.g using a ftp-client like fileZilla)

Apart from accessing files on your Quickstart VirtualBox through the 'shared' folder it may be useful to have access through SSH. Using a ftp-client you then have direct access to your Quickstart Vb from your host. This way you could for instance easily edit .css files while theming.

It took me only 2 steps:

Prerequisite: you have Bridged Networking configured, see #789006: 3a) Remote Access Quickstart: Bridged Networking

A) Install SSHD on the server, this is a deamon that handles SSH access to your server.
B) Use the right settings in FileZilla

Let's start:

A) Get and install the openssh-server

- Open the Terminal on your server and type:
sudo apt-get install openssh-server

- Reboot the server
sudo reboot

B) Set up FileZilla on your host using the following settings

- Host: the IP adress your server uses (check using 'ifconfig' in the Terminal)
- Port: leave empty
- Servertype: SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol
- Login type: Normal
- User: quickstart
- Password: quickstart

That's it! You now should be able to browse your Quickstart using FileZilla. If you have an easier way to do it please let me know.
