http://askubuntu.com – I've got Ubuntu 12 running as a virtual machine on a Windows 7 host. The Windows machine shares a folder with the Ubuntu machine via Samba and the Ubuntu machine mounts the shared folder automatically on startup thanks to this line in /etc/fstab file: //<remotehost>/<sharename> <localsharepath> smbfs uid=1000,username=<remoteusername>,password=<remotepassword> 0 0 It all works fine until there is a need to resume the Ubuntu virtual machine after it was paused or from a snapshot. After Ubuntu is resumed, the folder that contains the mount of the shared folder d (HowTos)

Stories similar to File sharing between Ubuntu VM and Windows 7 via Samba

Sorry if I'm repeating a question, but I searched & didn't find a thread that was directly on point.

I'm trying to save a .odt file to a virtual-machine shared folder in the /File_System/media directory on ubuntu, but I keep getting messages that the File System is read-only & won't allow me to save anything there.

I'm not really into systems administration, but I was called to set up this Windows 2003 Server. I put it in a VirtualBox virtual machine on the (real) Ubuntu Server.

I am running Ubuntu netbook remix 10.04 with samba installed and trying to share to a windows 7 machine...

I have added the win 7 username and password to samba, and also added a user with the same un & pw to the ubuntu users.

When i browse to map a network drive in win 7, I can see the folder, but the error I get states that the folder exists but I don't have permission.

Can anybody help?

I started to use Ubuntu two weeks ago, I still have some difficulty in understanding the whole world of Linux.

I'm in front of the following scenario:

I have a Windows computer running 12.04 in a VirtualBox, I've installed in Ubuntu samba and proftpd, because I've limited the Ubuntu HD to 8GB.

This is weird, a few days ago I had a folder on a Win98 machine that was shared over the network. This shared folder contained 4 Sub folders. I went to back them up today and only 2 of the 4 show on my Ubuntu machine. I thought... did I delete them off of the Win98 machine somehow?

I want to setup a samba server on My Ubuntu host for My Windows Guest in Virtual Box. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows version is Windows XP. VirtualBox 4.1.0.0

The Question is : How can I achieve this or Is it possible?

Note:

I am not trying to use the shared folder feature of Virtual Box. I used that feature already. Please Remember that I have only a physical machine.
