However, for FreeBSD you have to do it differently.
Usually this is done via the VirtualBox menu under Devices, there is a shortcut to Install Guest Additions. When vboxsf gets supported by FreeBSD (thanks Alexander for pointing that out) and if you want to use VirtualBox builtin share mechanism with vboxsf, you need to install the Guest Additions in the Guest OS (some FreeBSD in your case). Then your mount_smbfs command will succeed: mount_smbfs -U ///sharedfolder /home/user/shared 192.168.1.x) or the one that was defined for the host-only interface. Then on FreeBSD, mount the Ubuntu share by using the correct IP address (10.0.0.2 is probably the one for your NAT "router" created by VirtualBox and therefore it probably won't work), for example either use the Ubuntu IP address on your LAN (e.g. sudo smbpasswd -a to give access to a user, replace by the username. Make sure to create a user account in Samba on the Ubuntu host or that guest access is possible (e.g. Please could you provide more information regarding the network configuration of your Guest OS? What settings did you use when creating the VM? Do you use NAT, Bridge, Host-only or Internal Network? I'm going to provide you with one example which assume that your guest is able to view on the network your host (for example, you have one network card defined as host-only).įirst share a network folder on Ubuntu as you did. Either case you need to configure a share folder (you mentioned you used the Ubuntu GUI to do that) and then on the other machine you need to mount the share using the correct IP and making sure that both the Guest and Host are on the same network or using port forwarding in case you had NAT configured.īecause there is too many solutions, I am not going to list them all here. It is possible to mount either a shared FreeBSD folder or a shared Ubuntu folder with samba.
