VirtualBox is a virtualization software that lets you run multiple guest operating systems ( Windows, Linux, Mac OSX and few others) from a single computer known as the host computer.
If you don’t know what VirtualBox is, then let me give you a brief summary. That’s because we’ve written a lot about it. To reach the share "readonly-share" from the host you can write a URI like this in the File Explorer's address bar: \\10.0.2.If you’ve been following this blog, then you probably know a thing or two about VirtualBox. VBox NATs are use addresses like "10.0.2.15". To access the shares from your Windows Host you have to use the guest's IP address.
The default setting in Ubuntu's samba conf it to set "security = user", which means that you have to authenticate with a valid useraccount. To reach the guest's services from any other computer but the host, you would need to set up port forwardings on the host or configure a "bridged" virtual network card.Īuthentication type can be set in the smb.conf. With a "NAT" and "host-only" virtual network card you should be safe. These are examples how you define a share in your smb.conf Īfter you edit smb.conf run "testparm" to check your changes, then let the daemon re-read the config with a "service smbd restart" Once the Linux guest is setup, how do I access each of the individual shared folders from the Windows host? I read that I need to mount a drive on Windows to do this, but do I use Samba logins, or Linux logins, also do I use localhost? or do I need to set up an IP for this?.How do I make sure that these folders are only available to the host OS and not on the Internet?.
