I have two Arch workstations. I want to be able to run VirtualBox on Machine A, and access the .vdi files stored on a storage drive on Machine B. I'm sure I'm not connecting the two machines properly to do this, but I'm not sure how.
VirtualBox gives me VERR_NET_OPERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED opening image file /run/user/1000/gvfs/sftp:host=arch36,user=nick/home/nick/VirtualBoxVMs/Windows/Windows.vdi.
Originally I browsed to the folder via the "Connect to Server" option in the file manager, specifying SSH on 22, and using the correct login information. I can browse through the file manager to see the files.

You need to mount the network location and provide the user running VBox write access to it per this discussion

sudo mount.cifs //192.168.1.65/run/media/nick/Storage /mnt/dest -o user="user",pass="pass". I've tried all of the options of sec= to no effect. – coinich – 2016-01-29T22:21:05.683It sounds like the user your using does not have read permissions. You will have to resolve that problem before you can mount the drive. – Ramhound – 2016-01-29T22:24:05.010
Thats the thing, I made sure to chmod 777 the directory to share, and made write permissions yes in smb.conf. I'm not sure of where else to open permissions. – coinich – 2016-01-29T22:46:01.873
