Windows Forum / Virtual PC / May 2008Additions

I need to be able to share folders from the host system to be made available to the VPC..  SignatureProject manager and Analyst at MTVN What Operating System are you running in the guest?

There's the rub, there are no official additions for Linux on VPC2007, and while the Virtual Server additions work in VPC, there is no shared folder function. You'll have to use something else to transfer files. smbclient in Ubuntu can do it, but it's a bit out of my expertise to describe how.

Everything is installed in the base install. he doesn't even have to download anything. > There's the rub, there are no official additions for Linux on VPC2007, > and while the Virtual Server additions work in VPC, there is no shared [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >>Hi Rob, I am running Ubuntu 6.10 I do wish the additions worked if for nothing else than not having to release the mouse whenever I move back to the host.

"But" the Linux additions for Virtual Server can work for VPC. They just aren't supported by Microsoft. |
