   The tools really are mainly to facilitate shared folders, cut n paste etc.,   
   seamless windows between the Host and guests... since the guests for the most   
   part are just server setups with no X, no big deal.. like I listed above I   
   just scp or rysnc stuff over mostly, and can if need be pass it via Samba   
   share that the router provides... I guess you could use FUSE and sshfs or   
   something too or NFS etc. too...
