I created a folder /home/bobg/winshared in this computer.
Then in virtualbox under "Shared Folders" I entered
/home/bobg/winshared again which it shows as "winshared
/home/bobg/winshared"
In the virtual Windows I think I have tried every possible
combination under shared folders, etc. but to no avail, no files
are transferred to Linux and Windows does not show "winshared"
directory. I can move files around within Windows, even tried
creating a "winshared" directory there. The problem may well be
that I am not dealing with the Windows side properly.
However I'm beginning to think this project is not worth the
effort I am putting into it.
Thanks.
Bob
