[SOLVED] Win7 - Kubuntu Shared folder - Confusing

Post by erngab »

Host - Win 7 x64
Guest OS Kubuntu 10:04 (KDE + GNOME)
When I want to rename, delete - files, folders in Windows (host) from Kubuntu (guest) through a shared folder I get the message "Access denid ..."

1. windows 7 folders name: erngab / default sharename: erngab / Kubuntu shared folder: erngab
Read but no write.
When I try: sudo mount -t vboxsf -o rw,uid=1000,gid=1000 erngab /media/erngab/
I get the message: /sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: Protocol error

2. windows 7 folders name: erngab / sharename: erngabshared / Kubuntu shared folder: share
sudo mount -t vboxsf -o rw,uid=1000,gid=1000 erngabshared /media/share/
Read but no write.

3. windows 7 folders name: erngab / sharename: erngabshared / Kubuntu shared folder: erngabshared
sudo mount -t vboxsf -o rw,uid=1000,gid=1000 erngabshared /media/erngabshared/
Read but no write.

4. ?

In /media/erngabshared (level 1) - show that some folder are locked some not.
Every folder can write (rename, delete)

Next step (level 2) example /media/erngabshared/Desktop Linux - can not write.

Level 3 /media/erngabshared/Desktop Linux/Contacts - can write.

My paths

I do not understand ???

That's because you are trying to share your protected Windows user space. Windows 7 does not like this.
You can share folders that are not in you main folder (down a level). Its a Windows 7 security thing.

You can try to setup the share with the options and permissions as described in the lower part of the link I sent you and see if it help.
The part about using options and starting the share in your rc.local file.
