<para>Shared folders for file transfers between host and VM are
accessible by mounting them using
<literal>mount_vboxfs</literal>. A shared folder can be created
on the host using the VirtualBox GUI or via
<command>vboxmanage</command>. For example, to create a shared
folder called <replaceable>myshare</replaceable> under
<filename><replaceable>/mnt/bsdboxshare</replaceable></filename>
for the VM named <replaceable>BSDBox</replaceable>, run:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>vboxmanage sharedfolder add '<replaceable>BSDBox</replaceable>' --name <replaceable>myshare</replaceable> --hostpath <replaceable>/mnt/bsdboxshare</replaceable></userinput></screen>
<para>Note that the shared folder name must not contain spaces.
Mount the shared folder from within the guest system like
this:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>mount_vboxfs -w <replaceable>myshare</replaceable> <replaceable>/mnt</replaceable></userinput></screen>
