# 5 Accessing the File System of a Running Virtual Machine by Using the SSH Protocol

Oracle JRockit Virtual Edition enables you to transfer files to and from the file system of a running virtual machine by using the SSH protocols, SCP (secure copy) and SFTP (secure FTP).

An SSH service (`sshd`) is included in virtual machine images that are created by using Oracle JRockit Virtual Edition, but the service is not enabled by default. The SSH service supports password-based and public key authentication.

Note:

Oracle JRockit Virtual Edition does not provide shell access to virtual machines.

- Enabling the SSH Service

- Configuring the SSH Service

- Logging in to the SSH Service
