Right now I'm using the latest VirtualBox 5.2. Since the last two/three Virtual Box build I cannot use it anymore on VM to reference a shared folder as \vboxsvr.Īt first I thought on a FC problem because I updated it from build 740 to 760 but today I was wrking on an old Win7 vm with build 740 and it's not working! The issue is observed on TotalCommander v9.10 and v9.12.I do heavily use FreeCommander almost everywhere, I use it portable. Directory is not changed to '\vboxsvr'.Įxpected behaviour: Directory is changed to '\vboxsvr' on step 7 (as on step 3) Choose a drive letter for the shared drive but instead of browsing for the drive (as you would normally) you need to enter this in the folder field: vboxsvr. Try to change path to '\vboxsvr' via directory menu: press 'Ctrl+D', choose menu item named on step 4.ħ. On Linux, Mac, and Oracle Solaris VM Open your Linux or Mac or Oracle Solaris Virtual Machine through VirtualBox. If you are doing this with your home network, it should work just fine. Change the current path to an any local path.Ħ. Double-click on the Virtual Box Server (usually with the name VBOXSVR) to find the shared folder. Step5: Get the IP of the virtual machine and ping it to see if it works This is the easiest solution to just let the virtual machine be on the same level as other machines on your LAN. Add this path to directory menu: press 'Ctrl+D', choose 'Add curent dir', name it '\vboxsvr, for example. Be sure that \vboxsvr share is accessible: execute 'cd \vboxsvr' on a TC's command line.Ĥ.

Install TotalCommander on a VBox virtual machine.ģ.

But the path is not opened via the latter (although, e.g., '\tsclient' path is opened).ġ. To minimize typing I've added this path to directory menu. I often use 'cd \vboxsvr' command to open host's shared folders. I start the machine, and the vboxsvr does not exists.

I have a VirtualBox (VBox) virtual machine with TotalCommander installed.
