You can create a soft link that points to /media/sf_shared_folder.
Now you can access the /media/sf_shared_folder directory. Log out of the current session and log back in. Open up a terminal in the guest machine and enter the following command. So what we need to now is add your user to vboxsf group. By default, only root and members of the vboxsf group have read and write access to this directory. In /media/ directory of the Linux guest, you will find a new directory called sf_shared_folder if the shared folder name on the host is shared_folder. Check Auto-mount to auto-mount the shared folder when the guest OS boots up. You can check Read-only to let your guest have read access but no write permission to the shared folder on the host machine. Then in the Folder Path field, select a folder on your host machine. Then click on the add button to add a shared folder. In the Virtualbox Manager window, right-click on your guest machine and select Settings.
This tutorial will explain how to enable file sharing between host and virtualbox guest OS.
Enter the command /sbin/mount.vmhgfs -h to list the options.įor Linux kernel version 4.0 or later, enter the command /usr/bin/vmhgfs-fuse -h to list the available options.In a previous tutorial, I showed you how to install Virtualbox guest additions on Debian. Mounts the subdirectory bar within the share foo to /var/lib/barįor Linux kernel prior to version 4.0, you can use VMware-specific options in addition to the standard mount syntax. host:/foo/bar /var/lib/bar -o subtype=vmhgfs-fuse,allow_other host:/foo /tmp/foo -o subtype=vmhgfs-fuse,allow_other host:/ /home/user1/shares -o subtype=vmhgfs-fuse,allow_other Mount Command Syntax Linux Kernel Prior to 4.0 The commands also vary depending on the Linux-kernel version of the guest. You can use different mount commands to mount all shares, one share, or a subdirectory within a share to any location in the file system. Linux kernels 4.0 and later use a FUSE file system component. In Linux kernels prior to version 4.0, the VMware Tools services script loads a driver that performs the mount. After you enable a shared folder, you can mount one or more directories or subdirectories in the shared folder to any location in the file system in addition to the default location of /mnt/hgfs.ĭepending on the kernel version of the Linux guest operating system, VMware Tools uses different components to provide shared-folder functionality.
