Access shared folder on Ubuntu ?

Post by Aturion »

Hi all, I'm a newbie

I've installed ubuntu-amd64 on vbox on windows 7, I've also installed guest additions, the mouse is working fine

I'm looking to export some files I've downloaded under the guest system (ubuntu) to the host system (windows 7), I've set a shared folder under vbox and also set it as "shared" under windows but I can't figure how to access it under ubuntu so I can move the files

Any pointers ?

Thanks

See my signature :). This topic is actually in the wrong place too, should have been Linux Guests, where you would have found my tuts directly ;).
Read the Forum Posting Guide before opening a topic.
VirtualBox FAQ: Check this before asking questions.
Online User Manual: A must read if you want to know what we're talking about.

Try searching the forums first with Google and add the site filter for this forum.
E.g. install guest additions site:forums.virtualbox.org
