# Synced Folders
|
|
|
|
While it is cool to have a virtual machine so easily, not many people
|
|
want to edit files using just plain terminal-based editors over SSH.
|
|
Luckily with Vagrant you don't have to. By using _synced folders_, Vagrant
|
|
will automatically sync your files to and from the guest machine.
|
|
|
|
By default, Vagrant shares your project directory (remember, that is the
|
|
one with the Vagrantfile) to the `/vagrant` directory in your guest machine.
|
|
Run `vagrant up` again and SSH into your machine to see:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ vagrant up
|
|
...
|
|
$ vagrant ssh
|
|
...
|
|
vagrant@precise32:~$ ls /vagrant
|
|
Vagrantfile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Believe it or not, that Vagrantfile you see inside the virtual machine
|
|
is actually the same Vagrantfile that is on your actual host machine.
|
|
Go ahead and touch a file to prove it to yourself:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
vagrant@precise32:~$ touch /vagrant/foo
|
|
vagrant@precise32:~$ exit
|
|
$ ls
|
|
foo Vagrantfile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Whoa! "foo" is now on your host machine. As you can see, Vagrant kept
|
|
the folders in sync.
|
|
|
|
With [synced folders](/v2/synced-folders/index.html), you can continue
|
|
to use your own editor on your host machine and have the files sync
|
|
into the guest machine.
