If you are running your Ubuntu server in a VirtualBox client on a Windows desktop host, there are a few tricks you should know.
If you run the various commands below from the ubuntu console in VirtualBox, you can not cut and paste into and out of the console. It is to your benefit then, to use PUTTY to control the VirtualBox console instead of running in it directly.
To reach your VirtualBox Ubuntu with Putty, you will need to do some set up steps.
- From the ubuntu server console apt-get install openSSH-server
- shut down the ubuntu server
- In the VirtualBox manager, choose your ubuntu server and pick setup.
- In setup choose the network adaptor 1, and change it's type from NAT to bridged.
