Re: hot to add a vdi file
You are not very clear in what You need.
Do You plan to use your 2003.vdi disk image as the primary disk for Your Virtual Machine?
If so: how did You get that 2003.vdi? it may make difference.
If You just need to use it as an additional disk in an already working VM then You have to:

If You just need to use it as an additional disk in an already working VM then You have to:
- open the VirtualBox GUI (Applications->System Tools->Sun VirtualBox).
- open the Disk Manager (File->Virtual Media Manager...)
- register your file(Add->navigate to Your 2003.vdi->Ok)
- Close Disk Manager (Ok)
- Select Your VM
- Edit it (Settings)
- Select Hard Disks
- Hit the Add button (the one with a green "+" on the disk icon)
- Select 2003.vdi in the combo box
- Close the settings (Ok)
- Be Happy

Yes! I plan to use 2003.vdi disk image as the primary disk for my Virtual Machine.
My ubuntu server is in the Network Center . I have upload the 2003.vdi by FTP
I use openssh to connect the sever so can you tell me how to do that with openssh command line
