Anybody out there who can help me with my query (

u need to setup your Guest OS's networking to be 'bridged'. That way, u can have a virtual connection to your Linux host.

test it with 'ping' first before doing an ftp and trying to make it workr.

Look for "ftpd" running at the Linux box, issue an "ftp" command at the console and then "open localhost"... if get the answer then the ftp server is up and running. Then try to open the ftp connection from within the virtual machine, using the appropriate IP address.
