I do heavily use FreeCommander almost everywhere, I use it portable.
Since the last two/three Virtual Box build I cannot use it anymore on VM to reference a shared folder as \\vboxsvr.
At first I thought on a FC problem because I updated it from build 740 to 760 but today I was wrking on an old Win7 vm with build 740 and it's not working!
Right now I'm using the latest VirtualBox 5.2.0 r118431 on a Windows 10 (1703) 64bit host
- I do not have any problem browsing \\vboxsvr from Windows Explorer
- from FreeCommander I can browse \\vboxsvr (I guess it's using some os API)
- ...but when I select a folder from the above browse list (or when I type it directly)
- ...I get the error "network name cannot be found" (not sure if on a real english system the error is called like this!), the same error one will get when trying to use a mispelled name or a powered off system
Addendum: if I map a \\vboxsvr share then I can use it from the mapped drive!
