VirtualBox Shared Folders in Ubuntu 10.10 Guest with Windows 7 Host

Yes, it’s important to transfer data between Linux ubuntu guest and any host OS. As of today, VirtualBox does not support latest Ubuntu 10.10 as guest officially, so installing guest additions is not straight forward. Our earlier post on installing guest additions worked for all users to get more screen resolutions, seamless and full screen mode with mouse integration. Let me show how to use the same packages to setup shared folders and easily transfer data between virtual machine and physical computer.

Follow the Steps to Configure VirtualBox Shared Folders in Ubuntu 10.10 Guest with Windows 7

1)  install VB guest additions.

2) Go to ‘Shared Folders’ option under virtual machine’s settings. Browse the Windows 7 folder or partition you want to share with Ubuntu 10.10.

Note: Any network between both Operating Systems not required.

Dennis Ritchie | End of a life well lived, beginning of a legend

Dennis Ritchie, the father of the 'C' programming language and the co-designer of the venerable UNIX operating system, passed away on 8 Oct '11.

His death has not generated nearly the amount and rhetoric that Job's has... that's just sad, it should have.
