Host: Debian GNU/Linux
Guest: Windows XP
Read the user manual on Folder sharing section.
- Install Guest Additions (Devices > Install Guest Additions)
- Click on folder icon on the bottom of the VirtualBox
- Create a new shared folder: select a directory on Host and choose a name (e.g. my_shared_folder)
- On a command shell (cmd) type this command
net use x: \\vboxsrv\my_shared_folder
Where x: is a free device letter.
Worked perfectly.
Thanks.
I followed the directions but could not get it to work. My host is PC OS Linux 2009 and guest is Win Xp SP3
1) Run command from Windows XP shell (Start > Run > cmd)
2) Check that “my_shared_folder” exists as Shared folder.
Budale!
