Abstract

In an example embodiment, a communication is received from a software tool. The communication may be intended for a virtual machine and may contain an identification of a virtual file. A virtual file can then be retrieved using the identification. The virtual file defines a file socket, the file socket providing a communications channel for stream-based communications. Then the file socket can be established as a communications channel between the software tool and the virtual machine based on the virtual file.
