VirtualBox: Can't copy files to a shared folder under ArcaOS guest

(1/3) > >>

Neil Waldhauer:
Host system: Red Hat 9.4 (same behavior also under Windows 11)
I installed the extension pack, and my ArcaOS 5.1 guest system. I shared my home directory.

I can copy files from the shared folder. I can edit files with Lotus SmartSuite (I can save the changes.)

I cannot copy (control drag in WPS) files to the shared folder. When I try the system gives error Sys0266: The specified file was not copied. A file with the new name exists in the shared folder, but it has 0 bytes. (see attachment for error message)

I can move (drag in WPS) a file to the shared folder. If that file already exists in the shared folder, then I get Sys0266 error, otherwise the move succeeds.

Hi Neil,

I noticed the same thing under Ubuntu with ArcaOS installed in Virtual box after upgrading Virtualbox to v7.0.20. Figured it will get fixed sometime so simply use linux file manager or terminal to copy or move files on the host system.

Neil,

  Same thing here with a Win11 host. It works from a command line, but not with the WPS. Must be a defect in the VirtualBox IFS. Very annoying...

Hello

Here it is working, host Win 10, guest ArcaOS 5.1. Virtualbox 7.1.0 (Recently installed)

But I'm using Valery's Guest Addons 5.0.x, since they provide me WPS support for shared folders with the guest. Is this integration already available on the official addons? I haven't checked those in a while.

Sorry, no Linux experience here.

Regards

Martin,

  I tried the 5.0.x IFS with the 7.1 additions, but it didn't work (doesn't mount drives). So I guess I need to install the whole thing. Are you able to use multiple CPU's? with the 5.0.x additions? How about USB devices?

  The 7.1 additions for OS/2 allow shared folders, but you can't copy from the VirtualBox OS/2 guest to the host by using the WPS - only by command line. You can copy from the host to the guest by WPS though.

Regards,
