Situation: OpenSUSE installed in a Virtualbox Virtual Machine and I want to set a shared folder.ġ - Set up a Virtual Machine and install OpenSUSE 11.2Ģ - Create a shared folder on host (HostFolder)ģ - Setup the shared folder in Virtualbox This was the only thread that helped me to get shared folders to work but it was incomplete for my purpose so that's why this thread exists. Hopefully this will save someone a lot of hassle and please respond if there is a better way to do this! (There probably is but I haven't found it yet.)Īlso most of this is shamelessly ripped from this excellent thread: VirtualBox Guest additions in OpenSUSE 11.2 - openSUSE Forums If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment below.This cost me a lot of time to figure out and this is just multiple threads combined into one. I plan on giving it a try in the following months, and will let you know my opinion about it. I have also been reading a lot about Vagrant, as it seems to be another popular choice by developers.

I hope you found this tutorial easy to follow and useful.

And that’s it! Now type ssh -p 2281 to SSH from your host machine to the guest.
