 We need to set up ssl before pushing anything to GitHub. All that has to be done is to copy your .ssh directory from your Windows user directory to your Linux home (aka ~) directory. !VirtualBox enables sharing between Windows and Linux file systems, but that hasn't be configured yet so just on Windows copy the .ssh directory to a USB flash drive and then on Linux copy it to your home directory.
 
-Specifics to be supplied.
+* Insert a USB flash drive, click "Open folder to view files" in the Windows notification dialog box that appears.
+* In the Windows Explorer window, go to your home folder (usually c:\Users\Your-name), then drag-and-drop the {{{.ssh}}} folder to the
+USB drive in Computer.
+* In the virtual machine menu bar, click Devices, hover over USB Devices,
+ select your USB memory drive from the drop-down list.
+* In the Ubuntu launcher bar, hover over the filing-cabinet icon. Click on the Files window
+ that appears to give it the focus, then hit ctrl+H on the keyboard or click the View options
+ down-arrow-like icon and click Show Hidden Files.
+* You should now see a .ssh folder. Drag-and-drop it to the Home icon on the left sidebar of the window.
