I am using Windows 7 64 host with Ubuntu 10.04 32 Desktop guest. It does work to drag and drop copy into the shared folder from the guest OS's drive, and it works to copy in both directions from the command line.

Īnd the file in question has usually been created with a size of zero in the desired final location, but sometimes has never been created at all. There was an error copying the file into. Requires intermediate to advanced understanding of Linux, preferably Debian.I cannot copy files out of a shared folder onto my guest OS's drive using the gui (Nautilus file manager in Ubuntu 10.04 32 Desktop). You first need to configure the Shared Folder on the Host in the Guest Settings, then you need to mount the share in your in your Guest. Guest Extensions should be the same version and likely be installed from the Host Virtualbox installation's files.

Guest Extensions and the Virtualbox Shared Folder. Note if you are able to configure direct physical access, it usually means that the Host and other Guests are unable to use that device at the same time. This is typically configured in the Guest Settings. If you are able to configure direct access to the Guest (not always possible or easy), then you have a variation on the first option but without network bandwidth restrictions. If you prefer a graphical interface, you'll likely use VNC. If you are able to "see" the other machine, then you can login to a Linux system like Tails with SCP, telnet, SSH from another system (If you're on Windows, you'll likely be using PuTTY). Do you know how to setup a network share? I won't go into the specifics, but if you know how to setup a network share SMB, HTTP, FTP or other protocol, then you should be able to do a normal network transfer. Examples of recommended Cloud Storage:įrom Tails, simply login and upload the file(s).įrom your other machine, login and download. Note, I will not advocate emailing to yourself which is commonly done because that will quickly use up your allotted mail storage unnecessarily. Starting from solutions that require least expertise but may have drawbacks:Īssuming you have a working Internet connections, you can use Internet Cloud storage as intermediate storage. You have many options, what you choose may depend on your personal level of expertise.
