shared folder error

Post by fitzov »

I set up a shared folder in Debian and the X: drive was setup in the guest (XP). Whenever I try to add anything to the folder, however, I get the following error:

Cannot copy <filename>: the parameter is incorrect.

Any ideas on what "parameter" needs correcting?

The issue was merely one of permissions. In the host, give the guest user permissions to the folder with

chown -R <user>:<virtualboxgroup> <foldername>
