Hi,
I would like to draw your attention to a section in the online user
manual which seems to contain
several typos. I marked the differences in spelling by (<<<<).
=======
4.3.1. Manual Mounting
You can mount the shared folder from inside a VM, in the same way as you
would mount an ordinary network share:
*
In a Windows guest, shared folders are browseable and therefore
visible in Windows Explorer. To attach the host's shared folder to
your Windows guest, open Windows Explorer and look for the folder in
*My Networking Place*s, *Entire Network*, *Oracle VM VirtualBox
Shared Folders*. By right-clicking on a shared folder and selecting
*Map Network Drive* from the menu that pops up, you can assign a
drive letter to that shared folder.
Alternatively, on the Windows command line, use the following command:
net use x: \\vboxsvr\sharename
While |vboxsvr| (<<<<) is a fixed name, note that |vboxsrv| (<<<<)
would also work, replace /|x:|/ with the drive letter that you want
to use for the share, and /|sharename|/ with the share name
specified with *VBoxManage*.
*
In a Linux guest, use the following command:
mount -t vboxsf (<<<<) [-o OPTIONS] sharename mountpoint
To mount a shared folder during boot, add the following entry to
|/etc/fstab|:
sharename mountpoint vboxsf (<<<<) defaults 0 0
*
In a Oracle Solaris guest, use the following command:
mount -F vboxfs (<<<<) [-o OPTIONS] sharename mountpoint
