working on setting up a local development environment. Im pretty new to Linux. I am using Virtualbox for Ubuntu server inside of the Ubuntu Desktop I am running. After setting up port forwarding I am able to connect to it using these commands: ssh -p2222 [email protected]
or
ssh -p user@localhost.

I like to connect to it using ssh [email protected]. I understood that I would be able to do that by simply adding this line to my hostfile:
127.0.0.1 example.hostname.

The problem is, I dont know where to find this file. Where is the hostfile located on Ubuntu Desktop 14.04?
