Try connecting to the share manually - it should work now.
Code:mount -t vboxsf sharename /path/to/mountpoint

Thinking about becoming an Ubuntu Member?
OK Nice - thank you so much - so I followed your new advice :
mount -t vboxsf partagevb /mnt
(I don't know if /mnt is a good idea but Idon't know very much about the linux filesystem)
I thought that now I would find the shared folder in /mnt, but there is only 'cdrom' - which seems to be empty
When I have a look at mount I see this entry at the end :
partagevb on media/sf_partagevb type vboxsf (gid=1001,rw)
But :
cd /media/sf_partagevb => Permission non accordée
sudo cd /media/sf_partagevb => cd : command not found
sudo ls /media/sf_partagevb => Here I can see the file that I have copied in windows in the shared folder
So I think the shared folder is there, I only don't know how to get easy access to this folder (for exemple to decompress the file etc)
cd /media
uid and guid should be 1000.

Are you or are you not using a desktop environment on this server - Gnome?So I think the shared folder is there, I only don't know how to get easy access to this folder (for exemple to decompress the file etc)
VBox starting with Version 4 will automatically mount these shares to "/media/sf_whatever" with root as owner and group as vboxsf. The gid of vboxsf is 1001. There is no longer any need to mount these shares manually or through fstab.

There is no desktop environment installed on this server - should I ?
Now my question is how to easily access the shared folder on the command line ...
We all do seem to be avoiding that question don't we.
Well in this universe it would be something like this:
But when you do it you get this:Code:cd /media/sf_partagevb
Which I believe is "Permission denied"cd /media/sf_partagevb => Permission non accordée
So my guess is that you are not a member of the vboxsf group. To fix that:
Then you will have to logout ( of the VBox guest ) and login again for the group membership to take affect.Code:sudo gpasswd -a your-user-name vboxsf
Thanks for all your help !
Now I can go on to other subjects ...
