Shared folder(Host:Mac OSx, target is RHEL)

Post by Subbu »

Hi,

I am not able share a folder between the host OS(Mac OS x) and the actual OS(RHEL);
When I try to share a folder, It shows me that number of shared folder is one -- Seems fine;
However it shows nothing when I logged in with root and changed media(cd /media)

Any help highly appreciated

Thanks,

Make sure that the guest additions are installed properly ( in the guest ) and that you have added your id to the vboxsf group on the guest ( requires a reboot for permissions to take effect ).

It worked fine after restarting the virtual machine; I didn't do anything
