General :: Adding Shared Folders With Virtual Box?
Jun 1, 2011
I thought I should ask this as another question since the last screen is filling up.
I was able to install Linux Mint ver.10/Julia with Virtual Box. My problem now, is that I am still trying to run the tbaMUD program that is on my host OS - Windows 7. I accessed the help files included with the virtual box help menu and was able to add the guest additions that allow me to link a folder from my host OS to my guest OS. I can see it under DevicesShare Folders but I am unable to access the files and folders under this mounted folder. I am able to edit the folder, which lets me mount or add a new folder, or I can delete it.

I am trying to access shared folders in Virtual Box with Host OS being Windows7 and Guest OS is Fedora. Did anyone face a similar problem? I have been going through many solutions but none of them worked out. I am able to keep the required folders in Shared Folders making them Auto-Mount and Permanent. I tried to install Guest Additions from Devices, but I am not sure how to install the Guest-Additions software in Fedora. how to proceed so that I can access files in my shared folder.

I am setting up a lubuntu nas with all of my music, movies, etc on it. I want to give my kids access to my mp3 directory, so I can move all of the kid appropiate music into the root of my mp3 dir, in the same order I have all of my music sorted. Under the Music folder, I have them sorted, in folders, by letter. So A, B, C, D, etc... Now, in those folders are the respective artists. So where there may be something approipate in the P folder (say, Paramore), there is something inapproipate (say, Pantera)Now, when the kids go to the P folder, I don't want them to even see the Pantera folder. I just want them to see the Paramore folder. I tried a test using chmod 711 and chmod 700 on a directory with a test user, and the user can't access the directory, but can still see it

What's the best location for a folder intended to be used as a group storage location? In other words, I want a folder called "examplefolder" belonging to a group named"examplegroup" that can be accessed by everyone in that group. Is home/examplefolder the best location or elsewhere?Edit:The folder needs read and write permissions, so /usr would not work. Does anyone think /var would be appropriate? What about something in the root like shared? Is there a reason not to use /home/examplefolder?

In gnome there is 'Shared Folders' gui under 'Systems' which helps with sharing folders however my one is not working. I wanted to find out why it does not work. I guess my question is, is there any way of running the 'Shared Folders' gui in debug mode

I'm mounting a shared folder in an arch linux guest on a windows 7 host in Virtual Box. The shared folder's filesystem is ext3 and is mounted in windows 7 with Ext2Fsd. I mount the shared folder at boot with this fstab:
D_DRIVE /home/tony vboxsf rw,gid=1000,uid=1000,auto 0 0
I believe my user in the guest OS has the right uid and gid:
[tony@kiwi ~]$ id uid=1000(tony) gid=1000(tony) groups=1000(tony),1002,(vboxsf)
I can create files and remove them fine, but I can't seem to create directories.
[tony@kiwi ~]$ mkdir foo mkdir: cannot create directory `foo': Protocol error
Its weird because the directory looks like its there, sort of.

I would like to have on unix-like platforms, the same functionality as to Windows 7 Library folders (aka virtual folders) you see in Windows Explorer.Gnome Nautilus do that kind of virtual folders through saved search. But I want a system-wide solution, not a gnome-wide solution.Is there a tool that creates virtual folders from the concatenation of multiple search queries (the result of multiple find commands ?). The solution should index files for better performances and you should be able to define the default folder for copy operations.

I am having trouble accessing my shared folders from VirtualBox on Ubuntu 10.04. I installed guest additions and made sure I had my folder selected in the settings but I just can not access it. I tried re-installing guest additions as well.

I have set up a shared folder on my Ubuntu computer and I want everyone on the network to be able to see and use those folders, whether they have Ubuntu, Mac OSX or Windows XP. So far, I am able to view some Mac computers on the network and see the Windows network too - from Ubuntu. However, I am not able to see the Ubuntu computer on Mac or Windows yet. I think I should be trying to use Samba, but I am not sure how. I used
Code:
sudo smbpasswd -a [user]
to set up a password but I am not sure where to go in Windows or in Mac. Can anyone who is good in those systems tell me how I can see and hook up to my Ubuntu computer on the same network?
On this helpful page [URL]... I got as far as the last step and realized here:
Quote:
If you are still unable to access the shared folder, check that the folder sharing service is running on the Ubuntu computer:
Press System → Administration → Services
Find the Folder sharing service (samba) and ensure that the checkbox next to it is checked
Press Close
I don't have a "Services" icon in my Administration drop down menu!

network with a laptop with windows 7, a wireless all-in-one dcp-585cw, eminent em7075-dts.
it's possible to create shared folders in windows, in order to make them accesble for other pc's, devices, such as the eminent em7075-dts multimedia player.
when i start windows mediaplayer ( a requirement), i can browse over my pc when i am on the interface of the em7075 ( what you see on tv when go to the hdmi channell.) in other words, i have the option to play / stream a movie from my pc, over the network to the em7075.

I'm looking to set up some kind of a server so my friends can access my music folder. I've managed to set it up so that users on my LAN can do this, but I can't figure out how to make this available on the internet. Is there an easy way to do this? how to set up an FTP server, but none of these tell me how to configure my router, or what IP address I will need to access the folder from the internet.

I have two computers in the house that I have shared folders and one has a shared printer. I have a desktop running 9.04 and a laptop running 9.10. The desktop has several shared folders and a shared HP printer. The laptop only has one shared folder. Everything was working fine up until a couple days ago. I went on the laptop to access one of the desktop shared folders, and nothing shows up under "places, network" except windows network.
It no longer shows that the printer is currently shared either, but the funny thing is that I can still print to the desktop from the laptop.I just can't figure out how to access the shared folders.

I've been flipping through distros a lot lately, trying to find which one best suits me. I like Ubuntu quite a bit.
I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a desktop pc and I'm having and issue with shared folders. I set up a test share by right clicking on Documents in my home folder, and clicking on Sharing Options. Then I checked the box to "Share this folder" and the box to "allow others to create and delete files in this folder". I click "Create Share" and in a new window, it prompts me for nautilus to add permissions automatically. So I allow it to do that.
Then, from a Virtualbox Ubuntu machine, I can access the share and do everything I want to do (view, create, modify files). However, once I reboot my Ubuntu 9.10 machine, that has the shared folder on it, it's no longer shared when I log in and check on it.
The sharing emblem has disappeared from the folder icon, but if I go into Sharing Options, the boxes are still checked. If I simply unshare and re-share the folder, it gets the sharing emblem again and the Ubuntu virtual box can access it again.

Prior to upgrading from Karmic to Lucid I could access shared folders on my partners XP system. Now when I attempt to connect to the shared folder I am unable to see the folders.When I display the network I can see MSHOME but thereafter end up with the following :"Unable to mount locationFailed to retrieve share list from server"Strangely enough I am able to connect to another Lucid system easily enough from my laptop.In each instance both my Lucid systems and the XP one are connected via wireless and as far as I can see the setup on the XP system is networked OK.

I have two Ubuntu 10.04 computers ans several windows computers on a common ip address on my LAN, I cannot connect to the shared folders on the Ubuntu machines but all windows machines connect fine. I see the Ubuntu computers in networks on both Linux machines. When I try to access a shared folder on the Ubuntu machines it ask me for the user name, domain, and password even though I set Remote Desktop sharing to "Configure network to automatically accept connections"

I always find myself stuck when it comes to sharing folders across networks.
I just installed ubuntu on a pc, with 2 other pc's in my network - one runs Windows XP and the other Windows 7.
When I go to Network -> Windows Network -> WORKGROUP I can see both Windows computers. But when I try to open either one of them, it asks me for a username and password. Now, neither of the Windows machines have passwords (they just login automatically).
(I haven't used Ubuntu since the earlier versions and remember having to go through samba and set up config files, etc.).

I am networking from Ubuntu to Win 7. On Windows I have C:Users shared. In this directory I see two folders (or users, if you like): "Public" and "userr_" On UBUNTU when I go to Network > SERVER > Users I do not see either of the two folders that I see on Windows. I see a different one named "Default". I can access my optical drive on my windows machine fine via UBUNTU, it is just not behaving properly for this shared folder named "Users"

I configured Samba so that this laptop running Maverick would show up on the network so I could share files between the two. When I view the network on the laptop the windows shares show up, and I can access them; but when I view the network on Windows is when the problems start.
I view the network in Windows and this laptop shows up, but every time I try to open the Public folder (only folder shared) it won't let me in. I get some sort of Windows error message about being unable to access the folder and how I might not have permission to access it, and then at the very bottom it says something like 'file path not found'.
I tried to change the permissions in the properties for my public folder but I every time I tried to change the settings in the access box it would reset it back to blank (-) immediately after I changed it.
I'm not sure what the issue could be. Prior to purchasing this new laptop I was running Karmic on my old laptop and the networking between the two machines worked flawlessly. I'm hoping someone on the forum can help me with this problem.

Basically in the files and folders section on the netbook edition desktop i would like to add another folder (my dropbox folder)
I think i read somewhere that you had to bookmark it or something but i dont know how to do that.
I suppose its the same as adding a folder to the files and folder menu on any normal distribution of ubuntu.
