Any Virtual Box users?
I'm running Virtual Box on a Win7 machine. I want to use a Linux (either Ubuntu or openSUSE) virtual machine for general porn surfing since its a lot safer. I figure any bad things that I stumble across will be blown away when I restore to my clean snapshot.
Thing is, I would prefer to be able to DL directly to a folder in my Win7 file structure, instead of having to migrate it at the end of the surfing session. Can this be done? If anyone has any advice about this or can point me to any helpful forums, I'd appreciate it greatly. Thanks in advance. CB

I've got Windows XP installed on Oracles VM Virtual Box
only way I've found is getting the free version of Drop Box and dropping a picture or downloading a file to that and it'll end up showing over on windows xp if it's installed there too.. kinda need XP because the Olympus thermal Camedia printer only has a 32 bit driver. and it'll only print photo's thru that virtual box which is yet another thing dad gave away his $300 printer because it won't work on a 64bit OS and tells me it's impossible. BS. so thats what I did. :P

Guess I'll stick with using a thumb drive as a transition point.

PatrynXX, do you have the VB extensions pack and guest additions installed? With those installed, I've never had a problem getting my virtual to recognize any USB connected storage device.
PM me if you haven't and would like to know how. As a general rule of thumb, I compartmentalize all my devices so I prefer to avoid services that do automatic synching. Each device has a specific purpose/function and mixing them just confuses things.

I run an XP VM on my win7 box and just use a shared folder that the Virtualbox mounts as a drive on the VM. I took a snapshot of the XP VM so that if it ever gets infected or messed up I just go back to that

Actually, I've found a pretty effective solution. Both the virtual Linux machine and the host machine are placed on the same network. By sharing the folder on the host machine to the Linux virtual, I'm able to dl to the folder on the host machine.

I just saw your thread and read through to make sure you had reached this conclusion. I am a longtime VB user. By day, I'm a software developer and we use Eclipse under SuSE Linux because we find it more stable there than in Windows. However, our customer environments always include a battery of Web Browsers that includes multiple flavors of Internet Explorer, and there's just no good way to run any version of IE other than IE6 natively under Linux. Hence, I almost always have at least one Windows VM open somewhere on my desktop for testing purposes. With a Linux Host - Windows Guest setup, I am of the faction that there is no finer VM solution at any price ... and I've tried them all. <G> Under Windows 7, I've tinkered with using XP guest machines and found it superior to Microsoft's "Windows XP Mode", but admittedly haven't done nearly as much. Still, if you ever have any other Virtual Box questions, just holler and I'll be happy to help as much as I can. --JB |
