How to share folder between virtualbox puppy and windows
Posted: Thu 16 Feb 2012, 05:36
Hope, you have installed
1. guest Puppy on host Windows
or
2. guest Windows on host Puppy
with virtualbox.
Now we need a folder to share between these two OS for accessing files form each other.
Here goes the HOW-TO.
Host: Windows
Guest: Puppy
=========
1. Open VirtualBoxManager.
2. Add another network adapter "Host-only". That will be eth1.
3. Use "Connect" icon on guest Puppy desktop. Chose "Connect to Internet by Wired or Wireless LAN". Choose "Network Wizzard". Select eth1. Choose "Auto DHCP". See in "Static IP". IP is 192.168.56.103 or something similar.
4. Use Start/Networks/Pnethood to scan for network shares available. You can see your host Windows discovered. Give domain: , user: , password: , and rescan network.
5. You can see the shared folder of your host Windows. Connect and open the location.
Host: Puppy
Guest: Windows
=========
1. Make a host Puppy folder (say "KK") sharable.
2. In VirtualBoxManager, add this as shared folder.
3. Add VboxGuestAddition.iso to cdrom of guest Windows. In guest Windows, goto cdrom drive and install it.
4. Now in command prompt of guest Windows, run "net use x: \\vboxsrv\KK"
5. Check X: drive in guest Windows and use it.
Hope this helps.
