Sys admin: Ubuntu/Windows Shared Folder

To get a folder in Ubuntu shared in Windows:
  • Right click folder, click sharing
  • Install required s/w if prompted (Samba)
  • In the VirtualBox running Ubuntu change the network interface to the Bridged type
  • Get server address using ifconfig
  • In Windows go to the IP address of the Ubuntu server and select the shared folder (could also map this to a drive letter)
