How can I share files between OS X and YDL?

[Frederick C.Lee]

What I've managed to do, is to exchange files between Darwin and Linux   
(and vice-versa, I believe).
It's a crude way of passing files, but I don't see a viable way.  The  
Aqua Layer doesn't allow me access to Linux's "/usr/public" folder,  
even though I had set the permission to '666' - r/w for all.

The other option via Linux: Having to mount one of a zillion /dev and  
see if I can access OS X files from Linux appears daunting.

So the current de facto approach is to create symbolic links to each  
other's "public" folders and let the Super Users handle the  
transactions.
