(**) Back in the day the standard way to get files from PC A to PC B was file transfer software. Choose Start > Headless Start (or with the VM running, Devices > Shared Folders) Once running, right-click the VM and select Settings > Shared Folders. Enter your password when it prompts for the password. Then after logged in to Ubuntu, create a new directory for example /media/vboxshared and mount that drive using the command sudo mount -t vboxsf SHARENAME /media/vboxshared. (*) Actually, a disk imaging app such as MagicISO will certainly support FAT16 VDI drives, I don't know if it allows write access though, and certainly not while the VM is running. Option 1: Before booting up Ubuntu, inside Virtualbox Ubuntu VM settings, specify a share folder. Or, can you configure the VM to mount folders from the host and then use them directly. Hence my opening question: I find it hard to believe that any legacy software requires features that didn't exist when the software was created. Can Oracle VM access the local network (or even a fake host-only network), if so just setup a network share and use that. Trying to do it with DOS 6.22 is IMHO a waste of time - not only did the networking drivers not exist, the concept didn't exist. Only in your case one of those PCs doesn't support networking, doesn't support USB, and only supports CD drives if you install the drivers (**).Īre you using terminology correctly? Do you really need to share files on your host, or do you simply want to copy files into the guest, one time only? Because in the latter case, an ISO image is about your only practical option.įreeDOS is going to be your best bet at achieving modern networking standards. A VM is a second PC, so you are restricted to file exchange methods you'd be able to use if you had the two PCs side by side on a bench. However the host has no access to the contents. Yes, you can create a virtual hard disk on the host (*).
