Having said that, I don't know what the 'right' solution to permissions mappings for Linux-on-Windows would be.Anycodings_shared-directory In the next dialog click on the Add anycodings_shared-directory Folder icon to the right of the Folders anycodings_shared-directory List. But I don't think it necessarily translates well when you've got a UNIX guest (i.e., Linux) running on Windows, given that NTFS has no concept of the execute *permission* and instead has its own idea of what it means for a file to be 'executable' (where the file name must end in.

I agree that this permissions mapping approach probably makes sense, and is by design, for UNIX-on-UNIX hosts/guests - e.g., a Linux guest on a Mac OS X host, and vice versa. bat files, since they are indeed only 'executable' on Windows. After all, on the Linux guest, it's not like you're going to be able to run those. However, I'm not convinced how practical this is. exe, etc.) into executable files (+x) on the Linux guest. I understand why this is happening from a technical standpoint: basically, VBox's shared folders implementation is mapping what the Windows host considers to be 'executable' files (.bat. com files, and so on all show up with +x permissions on the Linux guest. Also, I've noticed that in 2.0.6, in a Linux guest running on a Windows host, the only files that _do_ show up as executable are those file types that are thought of as 'executables' on Windows itself.
