    How is it possible to show the hdd of a running vm like Ubuntu/Debian on the desktop of OS X?

    With Windows it is possible. How about other VM's?

    ok, so nobody can help in this issue.
    Parallels doesn't seam to offer a solution...

    Does anybody have a hint what kind of software i can use to show the HDD of a running Debian VM in OS X?

    I'd look into NFS. For configuring on the mac try NFS Manager.app I've got os 10.10.4 nfs share to be seen on a real laptop running Fedora 22. On the mac, you will have to pick a mac user to map all incoming user to a mac user. Be sure your firewall has an opening for NFS. I turned off my firewall. example mount command:
    mount 192.168.0.140:/Users/mac/shared /Home/me/shared
     
  4. A couple of options I've used ---
    - Samba .. set up samba server on Linux VM and share to it from Mac.
    - netatalk .. old but usually works ... provides appletalk file sharing from Linux system
    - and as someone else mentioned ... NFS
