Configuring VirtualBox Linux systems to share files with Windows

Manually configure the VirtualBox Linux system with Windows shared files

First, to install the VirtualBox extension tool , this ISO can be found under the Virtual host installation directory.

Copy this file to your Linux host and unzip it to see a list of the files as follows:

Then, execute the vboxlinuxadditions.run file directly in one step

Command:./vboxlinuxadditions.run

Note that it is important to get execute permission, otherwise it will report no permissions error

(You can perform chmod-r 777 vboxguestadditions).

After installing the extension tool successfully, Configure the shared file information

And remember the shared folder name: I'm configuring htdocs here.

Next, you can mount the shared folder to the Linux directory ,

Use command: Mount-t vboxsf htdocs/mnt/shared

This allows the htdocs to be shared to the corresponding/mnt/shared path
