Alas, I had a disaster and accidentally deleted the folder that contained my VM (Snow Leopard Server). I re-installed it, but when it came to configuring all the preferences involved in file-sharing, I seem to have done something different from before and once again have problems with moving files from the virtual machine to the host machine and vice versa. There are four places in System Prefs., each with multiple possibilities, and I am now totally confused. These are Users & Groups and Sharing in the HM and Accounts and Sharing in the VM.
I have a Shared Folder in the VM. Also a Public Folder and a Drop Box in the VM (but in these most locations are marked to show that I do not have permission to access them). And on the HM's desktop, a folder called 'TO GO!' has appeared, whose function I do not understand.
If anyone has a list or diagram or tutorial that shows what should be selected in each of the four System Preference locations (remembering that my VM is Snow Leopard
Server), and if anyone can explain to me the functions of Public Folder, Drop Box and TO GO! — and how I can give myself permissions to access the locations in these for which at present I have none — I shall be profoundly grateful.
