ssh in virtual machine

I want to connect to my virtual machine (vm player) archlinux (and CentOS ) with my host - arch linux through ssh. I searched in archwiki secure shell but found nothing related to the task except installation of ssh which i did in both guest and host. but i dont know much about networking.. any helping hand ?

Before you get to ssh, you need to configure networking between the host and the guest. Arch wiki has some vmware related stuff - if you don't find the answer there, google should fill in the gaps.

FYI vmware is totaly unsupported on Arch - doesn't mean it won't work, but it may be harder to get help with it. You might consider switching to virtualbox, which is fully supported.

To add to what tomk already said, picking 1 of the following 2 options should be sufficient to ensure connectivity between your host os and the VM guests:

1) Set the VM's network adapter in bridged mode.
2) Add an additional adapter in host-only mode (in the VM's) and let the ssh daemon listen on that one.

sorry folks for the late reply .. the ISP server was down !

anyway I installed arch in virtualbox, and will try to install and configure ssh.

Arch Linux
