Luckily with Vagrant you don't have to. By using _synced folders_, Vagrant will automatically sync your files to and from the guest machine. By default, Vagrant shares your project directory (remember, that is the one with the Vagrantfile) to the `/vagrant` directory in your guest machine. Run `vagrant up` again and SSH into your machine to see: ``` $ vagrant up ... $ vagrant ssh ... vagrant@precise32:~$ ls /vagrant Vagrantfile ``` Believe it or not, that Vagrantfile you see inside the virtual machine is actually the same Vagrantfile that is on your actual host machine. Go ahead and touch a file to prove it to yourself: ``` vagrant@precise32:~$ touch /vagrant/foo vagrant@precise32:~$ exit $ ls foo Vagrantfile ``` Whoa! "foo" is now on your host machine. As you can see, Vagrant kept the folders in sync. With [synced folders](/v2/synced-folders/index.html), you can continue to use your own editor on your host machine and have the files sync into the guest machine.
