The problem is when you share files between Windows host and Linux guest. Does the ubuntu server basically ignore all the windows permission of the folder? DocTaut Posts: 4 Joined: 4.If you are using Virtual Box virtualization technology then you know that is possible to share some folders between the host OS and guest OS. When I share a folder on the Windows host, how does virtual box determine the permissions to those files. However, I'm not sure how these permissions work exactly with the ubuntu guest server since it's not tied to the NTFS permissions. Now in the past I had my windows 7 machine running an ssh server using cygwin which goes off the NTFS permissions, so all I had to do is set the folder permissions for windows users and cygwin would use these. It does not appear that I can do this by adding users to the vboxsf group since being a member of this group will give all users rwx permissions to the shared folder. However, there are subdirectories in the shared folder that I want locked down so that only my user account has access. MAIN ISSUE: I am using this virtual ubuntu server as an sshd server, and I need to have this shared folder accessible to several different users. The problem I'm running into involves permissions.
I have set up virtual box to mount the T: drive automatically as a shared folder. The Windows host has an encrypted volume that I mount every time on start up (mounts as T: drive).
I am running a virtual box Ubuntu Server 14 on a Windows 7 host. I've done some research on this topic but, I don't believe that I found a valid solution or clear enough explanation.
