Virtual Box Guest Addition : Accessing file in host os (windows) from guest os (ubuntu)
As you read the title, you know that for this time i will write about how to access files from a host operating system from a guest operating system in virtual box. in this care, i use Microsoft windows XP service pack 3 as host os and ubuntu 9.04 as guest addition.

lets begin this section
the first thing we should do is run our ubuntu in virtual box
in menubar of ubuntu window, just click "device" and choose "share folder"
a window will appear and you can click on the button to add new share folder, type the path and the name of the folder you want to share.
for example, i want to share a folder in drive D:/share and i type its name share.
notes
before you type the path and the name, you should already change the property of the folder in host os
Mkdir /home/share
then, we must connect our share folder in host os to our folder in home, type these command on terminal
Mount –t vboxsf sharename mountpoint
in my case i type :
Mount -t vboxsf share /home/share
well done so far! now take a look to our share folder in home, its content will be same with our share folder in our host os.
wish you luck!!
