I have installed RHEL 5.5 on VIrtual Box and Host system is Ubuntu 12.04. I can access the files of Ubuntu by using the sharing services of Virtual Box.

Virtual Box

But how can I access the files of RHEL which is installed on Virtual Box?

Network Configuration

RHEL is connected to Ubuntu using Bridged adapter Network Mode

Please specify the network configuration you're using in VirtualBox, it affects the way to solve this drastically. – David Kohen Oct 14 '12 at 7:13

It does no matter what host system do you use. with linux as a host you just have one more option - NFS share. In any case you have to set up either ftp/nfs/samba server at your guest system or use ssh to scp files back and forth. Also, there are tools for offline access to virtual disks of various formats – Serge Oct 14 '12 at 7:32

As people in the comments have pointed out, it's possible to use SMB/CIFS,NFS, or use scp. Either of the first two methods requires some set-up, and reading before you attempt it, on your side. scp doesn't take much learning, but it can be cumbersome.

I'd like to mention one more option: sshfs. It's based on fuse, and in Ubuntu it should be as easy as aptitude install sshfs. Requires no setup (short of creating a mount-point for the directory structure on the virtualised RHEL instance).
