Re: Virtual box help

When i can't solve something I cheat

For example, I set up an ftp server (vsftpd) so I can access my Linux partitions in windows

Try cheating too

Re: Virtual box help

Have you looked at the VBox help using the help button on the top right of the Virtualbox window? There is a chapter on sharing a folder between the virtual machine and the host machine. This may be what you are looking for. I am using the virtual box from sun and not the oss version.

Re: Virtual box help

hey guys, after i specified the shared folders ( actually i choosed /media folder in my /root directory) then i installed guest additions, i then went to "my network places" in windowsxp and i choosed "add a network place" then a dialogue box will appear choose "another network place" then select browse and under "entire network" you'll find "virtualbox shared folder", select your shared folder path and press ok, then you'll find it in "my network places" and it works with me
