    VirtualBox Ubuntu Client Permission Problem

    Hallo

    Well I know this questions has been discussed very often and I tried differen thins but I don't find an answer to my problem.

    I have CentOS 6.2 as host and Ubuntu 12.04 as guest running in VirtualBox.

    I have created a shared folder but I have only read access to it. It's a permission problem.

    So what I have done:

    I have mounted the folder

    Code:
    sudo mount -t vboxsf vbox-Share /mnt/vbox-Share
    and then I added my user to the vboxfs

    Code:
    sudo usermod -G vboxsf -a user
    I also tried to change the owner

    Code:
    sudo chown -R user /mnt/vbox-Share
    I have not idea, but I cannot access my Shared folder in reading mode, using root it works.

    Also automatically mounting fails.

    Can somebody help me please

    Kind regards and thanks in advance

    Walter

    You might find it easier to control your Ubuntu with Webmin via your browser on CentOS.

    Logon to your virtualbox OS, open a terminal and download with :
    sudo wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/w..._1.580_all.deb

    Install with :
    sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.580_all.deb

    Add extra libraries with :
    sudo apt-get -f install

    On CentOS, use a browser pointed to https://your_virtual_box_OS_IP:10000 to edit files, create shares, startup daemons, change permissions etc..

    regards

    Yeah I know this program but I would like to create a Vbox Share not a Network Share.
