How to share Ubuntu11.04 with windows in VirtualBox

Method 1: Use the SharedFolders feature of virtualbox to install the additional component: Click Devices (device) ----- & gt; InstallGuestAdditions ...... A VBOXADDITION_4.0.4_70112 ISO image is displayed on the desktop. Enter the folder # cd/media/VBOXADDITIO.

Method 1:

Use the Shared Folders feature of virtualbox

First Install the additional components: Click the Devices (device) of virtualbox -----> Install Guest Additions ...... A VBOXADDITION_4.0.4_70112 ISO image is displayed on the desktop. Enter the folder # cd/media/VBOXADDITION_4.0.4_70112

Run autorun # sudo./autorun. sh to automatically install it. After installation, restart Ubuntu,

Click the Devices (device) of virtualbox -----> Shared Folders to add a Shared folder, such as ubuntu. The file is in the window and has been created in advance.

Finally, create a shared file in the mnt file, such as shared # sudo mkdir shared

Mount # sudo mount-t vboxsf ubuntu/mnt/shared

Note: Do not share files in Windows with those in ubuntu.

Method 2:

Use samba Server

First install samba

# Sudo apt-get install samba

# Sudo apt-get install smbfs

 

Create a user: # sudo useradd smb. This is used to log on to the samba server in the window.

Set Password: # sudo smbpasswd-a smb

Configure the samba server # cd/etc/samba/back up the smb. conf file # sudo cp smb. conf/etc/samba/smb. conf_backup

Modify the smb. conf file # gedit/etc/samba/smb. conf

[Global]

Add two lines under the workgroup

Doc charset = UTF-8

Unix charset = UTF-8

####### Authentication #######

Security = user (login is not required if share is used)

 

Add at the end of the file

[Shared file name]

Path = shared file path such as/home/smb created in advance

Available = yes

Browseable = yes

Public = yes

Valid users = smb

Save and exit

Run # sudo testparm to check the syntax. If Loaded services file OK appears, it indicates that the syntax is set.

Restart the samba server # sudo/etc/init. d/smb restart

In this way, you can enter the ubuntu ip address in the window to access ubuntu resources \ 192.168.1.105 (this is the ubuntu ip address, which can be viewed through ifconfig)

Note: The virtualbox network must be bridging
