Networking

By default the virtual machine is connected to a private network internal to VirtualBox and invisible to the host, network services on the guest are not accessible to the host machine or to other computers on the same network. ^[1]

To allow the host to communicate with the virtual machine I recommend setting the network to Host-Only ^[2]

Shared folders

[root@localhost ~]# mount -t vboxsf [-o OPTIONS] shared_folder ~/shared_folder ^[3]
