Hello

I have a simple installation:

host: WinXP
guest: FBSD-7-BETA4

as topic, I need to share a folder beetwen Win and FreeBSD
I read that "Share Folders" method is not supported guesting FreeBSD

Are there any other way to share a folder? if yes should you please explain it?

Thank you

Virtualbox Guest Additions are the usual way to get Virtualbox Shared Folders to work. But GAs aren't officially supported in FreeBSD VMs. However, see this by forum volunteer 'MultiOS': viewtopic.php?f=4&t=99606#p483279

And a web-search on "freebsd guest additions Virtualbox" showed up this: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handb ... virtualbox

Alternative idea: set up a Bridged or Host-Only network between host and VM, then make a real shared folder over the network. Virtualbox and Guest Additions aren't involved in this process. Web-search how to share a folder in one of the OS's and to access it in the other. See Virtualbox Networks: In Pictures

Samba / NFS / SSHFS are your best bets.
