Re: How to get the file transfer working between virtual box oracle developer vm and mac(host)

I don't have a mac,  but on Linux Virtualbox usually mounts shared folders under /media directory and with prefix sf_:

mgogala_at_umajor:~$ ssh oracle_at_ora19c Last login: Sun Aug  4 12:30:09 2019 from umajor.home.com Terminal type is vt100.
Erase is backspace.
Kill is control-X (^X).
-bash-4.2$ ls /media
sf_Downloads  sf_ORA-19.3  sf_tmp
-bash-4.2$

So, under /media, I have sf_Downloads,sf_ORA-19.3 and sf_tmp. Here is what I have defined for that VM:

shared folders

Of course, you need VirtuaBox extensions installed on both the server and the guest. You can see what do you have mounted by checking like this:

bash-4.2$ mount|grep vboxsf
/home/oracle/Downloads on /media/sf_Downloads type vboxsf (rw,nodev,relatime,iocharset=utf8,uid=0,gid=981,dmode=0770,fmode=0770,tag=VBoxAutomounter) ORA-19.3 on /media/sf_ORA-19.3 type vboxsf (rw,nodev,relatime,iocharset=utf8,uid=0,gid=981,dmode=0770,fmode=0770,tag=VBoxAutomounter) tmp on /media/sf_tmp type vboxsf
(rw,nodev,relatime,iocharset=utf8,uid=0,gid=981,dmode=0770,fmode=0770,tag=VBoxAutomounter) -bash-4.2$

On Linux, VirtualBox shared folders are mounted as "vboxsf" file system. My guests are Linux and Windows. I can consume mac only in combination with cheese. That configuration is known as mac & cheese, but is not recommended for health reasons.
