Create shared folders in Windows and Linux (Debian and Ubuntu)

Remember to set up a shared directory in Windows under the virtual machine. Recently, we found that the shared directory E:/dirdir is set in Windows. After debian is started on, there is nothing in/mnt/hgfs/mnt, even the/mnt is empty, and there is no hgfs. Therefore, it may be that the old Ubuntu has a/mnt/hgfs directory when the shared directory is set (my original Ubuntu is 8.04, and it is very old). Now let's share it. I set it successfully today.

Remember to set up a shared directory in Windows under the virtual machine.

Recently, we found that the shared directory E:/dirdir is set in Windows. After debian is started on, there is nothing in/mnt/hgfs/mnt, even the/mnt is empty, and there is no hgfs.

Therefore, the old Ubuntu may have a/mnt/hgfs directory when the shared directory is set (my original Ubuntu is 8.04 and it is very old)

Now let's take a look at the steps for setting up a shared directory successfully today:

1. First, set the Windows shared folder under the virtual machine, and disable debian when setting

2. Open debian, enter the superuser, and create a mount directory. Here I create it as/mnt/share

3. Mount the directory in Windows to/mnt/share In debian.

My Windows information:

IP Address: 192.168.1.108

Shared directory name: sharedir

Debian User name: linux

Therefore, run the following command to mount the directory in Windows to debian:

Mount // 192.168.1.108/destination DIR/mnt/share-o username = linux

Now, you can copy objects conveniently in Windows and linux.

Of course, it is better to use the samba server, which is more convenient. Using shared directories is just a low-efficiency method.
