I need to share a linux host's folder with a Windows guest, however this Windows machine will not be allowed to have internet support so no NIC will be added to the device. How do I share a folder with a Windows guest without internet?

You don't. Add a network interface, bind it to a host-only network on the KVM host and be done with it (you can also add firewall rules of course).

  • You'll have to excuse me if I hold out hope that the KVM devs are more competent than the Virtualbox devs. – bob Jun 20 '17 at 08:00

    Just because you think something should be available doesn't mean devs are incompetent when it's not. – Sven Jun 20 '17 at 08:01
  • Why wouldn't having no internet for a Windows machine be a valid use case? If they haven't added this functionality for Windows but left it available for Linux they are either incompetent or lazy (which is just as bad). – bob Jun 20 '17 at 08:02

    You have no idea what you are talking about. As I said, you can have host-only networking without having actual internet access. Having shared access to a file system is a real hard problem and it would be complete, useless waste of time to implement this in a virt engine if you can just use the available methods. – Sven Jun 20 '17 at 08:04
