I have setup a Virtual Box installation using a Windows XP host & Fedora Linux guest, and successfully shared a folder from the Windows side, and mounted it in the file system of the Linux side. I can read & write the files from within the Linux guest, so the shared folder mechanism is basically working.
The problem I am having is that I cannot set the permissions of files in the shared folder to make them executable (under Linux). A second issue which I believe is related is that I can create but cannot rename or delete folders in the shared area from within Linux. All this is being done with root ownership of files & folders. Am I trying to do something that shared folders does not support or have I got a configuration problem? As I am a Linux newbie, the latter is entirely possible. Any help gratefully received TIA
