With a "NAT" and "host-only" virtual network card you should be safe. These are examples how you define a share in your smb.conf Īfter you edit smb.conf run "testparm" to check your changes, then let the daemon re-read the config with a "service smbd restart" Once the Linux guest is setup, how do I access each of the individual shared folders from the Windows host? I read that I need to mount a drive on Windows to do this, but do I use Samba logins, or Linux logins, also do I use localhost? or do I need to set up an IP for this?.How do I make sure that these folders are only available to the host OS and not on the Internet?.Are there any Samba commands that I need to run on the guest to enable sharing?.What do I need to type in nf to share a folder from the Linux guest? (the tutorial provided in one of the links above only explains how to share home directories).
So far, I managed to set up two network adapters (one NAT and one host-only) and to install Samba on the Linux guest, but I have the following questions now: I read in these two links: here and here that it's possible to do this using Samba, but I am a little bit lost and need more information on how to proceed. In the Mount point field, enter either a letter if you’re using a Windows client or a folder name if you’re using a Linux client, under which the OS will try to mount your folder.I would like to share a folder from a Linux Guest with a Windows host (with read and write access if possible) in VirtualBox. Enable Auto-mount if it’s not active so that you won’t have to mount the folder manually each time in the client OS.ħ. Make sure Read-only is disabled if you want both host and client to have read and write access to its contents.Ħ. Choose the path of the actual folder that will be shared in Folder Path.ĥ.
Click on the icon with the Plus sign to add a new shared folder.ģ. To use shared folders in VirtualBox clients, open your VM’s settings:Ģ. You can copy and move files to and from it, then detach it from the VM to access its contents on the host PC. While the VM is active, find your flash drive in “Devices -> USB.” Choose it for it to detach from your host PC and attach to the guest OS.ĥ.
