Addressing all of the comments: I tried doing it again, to ensure it wasn't just a fluke. Trying to simply access a folder shared on Win 10 from Win 98 "as is" yielded the predictable result of displaying a message saying that such folder doesn't exist. After retaking all the steps from my own video I was able to successfully connect both machines once more, though I should note seven extra things: 0) I should have probably noted in the video itself that you CAN in fact just edit the .vdi file of your virtual machine (the "Hard drive file"), without really going through any of this. You just have to mount the .vdi file as a drive using something like Daemon Tools Lite or similar software. If, for whatever reason, you can't or don't want to do that, read on: 1) Kind of obvious, but at 5:40 in the video you can see me looking at Sharing Options on the Windows 10 host machine. In addition to the stuff I change in the video you should also make sure that all the other options are identical to mine as well. Basically, you've got 3 "sections" - Private, Guest or Public (current profile) and All Networks (the one I'm messing with in the video). Go through all three and make sure things like "Network discovery" and "File and printer sharing" are turned ON, just to be sure. 2) When you right-click Network Neighbourhood on your Windows 98 machine and go to Properties, you should see a list of installed network components (it's visible in the video at 4:59). If on that list you can't see "File and printer sharing for Windows Networks" (like in the video) you should consider adding it. To do that, click the "File and Print sharing..." button that you can find in the same window, underneath "Primary Windows logon" option. In there just make sure both checkboxes are marked, apply changes and restart your machine - the "File and printer sharing for Windows Networks" component should be automatically added to the list. If for some reason it's still not there you can add it manually by clicking Add -> Service -> File and printer sharing for Windows Networks. 3) When sharing a folder on my Windows 10 host machine I gave full access to "Everyone" in the sharing options (which you can see at 2:49), but also gave full access to "Everyone" in the Security tab (one to the right from Sharing tab in folder properties), which somehow didn't make it into the video. You'll probably have to add the group "Everyone" yourself, as it's not on the list by default (just click Edit -> Add... -> type in "Everyone" and then click "Check names", then click Okay and it should be added to the list for you). 4) You should consider disabling your Antivirus/Firewall for a little while, if you're still having trouble. Just remember to turn it back on once you're done. 5) Some people noted that it works better for them to share a folder on the virtual machine and access it from the host, instead of the other way around, like I'm doing it in the video, so if everything else fails you should try that as well. Should you choose to do that - simply create a new folder on your Windows 98's desktop, name it something simple, go into its properties, then into Sharing tab (The tab will be missing by default and to make it visible you may need to enable file and printer sharing, which I described in advice number 2 in this comment). In the Sharing tab just click "Shared As:" option, don't change the name or anything, and the Access Type should be "Full". Leave the password field blank for convenience. While trying to access your machine from Windows 10 via regular file explorer (In My Computer, or "This Computer", as it's called in Windows 10, on the left you can see a list of all available locations, like Documents, Music, C drive, D drive etc and Network - go to Network) you may be asked for login and password - just use your login credentials from your actual Windows 98 machine (the ones you use to login when you boot it up). It works for me as well and I'm able to share files just as well as with the original method! :) 6) You can TRY leaving your Primary Windows Logon as "Client for Microsoft Networks" instead of changing it to "Windows Logon". I don't think it should matter all that much, but it's worth a shot. I don't really have any more advice for you, it works like a charm for me and I can't see anything that I missed that could potentially give you errors, as I didn't do anything extra specific that wasn't already covered in the video to make it work. Perhaps you're scoffing at some detail you thought was insignificant? Or maybe you have a regular Windows 98 instead of the Second Edition? (I'm afraid that the original edition of Windows 98 may need some system updates for file sharing to work properly) Maybe you gave your virtual machine too much RAM or processing power? (256MB RAM tops, only 1 CPU) Maybe you named your shared folder using weird characters that BSOD Windows 98? Etc. And remember - undo all of the changes once you've copied all of the files over, just to be safe!
FAO BaEP: Much appreciation for taking the time and trouble to make this video and add in extra information as well. I for one am genuinely grateful, regardless of the level of success I am having due to different settings and environment to your system. Will persevere to succeed. UPDATE!!!! Just cracked it !!!! (for a blonde, that's AWESOME) Now able to drop files in from both sides: HOST PC and Guest (Windows 98 via Virtual Box).
Wow, just wow. I needed a way to get files from my win10 PC to a retro build I'm putting together without burning copious CDS. This works perfectly once the LAN drivers are installed, and I'm so surprised 98 and 10 can interface. I was concerned this was only going to work on virtual box, but I can confirm this 100% works on, out the box real hardware and software using 98SE and Win 10 build 19044.2965. Very much appreciated!
Thank you, so much for this! This was so helpful! I also had luck (and managed to skip a few steps) sharing between platforms via burning files onto a CD-R and loading/sharing them that way :)
Thanks for this! I really appreciate the subtitles too, I like to watch RUclips when there's lots of other noises in the background (or just rain) so they're a lifesaver :')
Thank you. Your steps are very accurate. Check your firewall/ antivirus. Disable it for the time being and then try if you are able to access the folders.

Ok, I tried doing that but the share folder I made on Windows 98 isn't showing up at all under the "Network" section on Windows 10. I tried doing everything this video, the following comments, and your comment suggested and still nothing. what exactly am I doing wrong?
Thanks so much. By accident I found a shorter solution while following this tutorial. Somehow Windows 98 can access my local NASdrive. So if anyone has one, that'll work too
I did exactly like this but still saying Access Denied. BTW I try this between two physical machines. Because no other way to install drivers for my retro PC. The network card is detected and working in Win98. Two machines can ping each other. I even turned off Win firewall. Any ideas?
Finally found what I've been looking for, because I have a windows 98 machine that receives faxes from government offices in my country since that's the only PC that still has a dial up modem, and it's really difficult to get that info outside that machine
Guys if you choose to bite the bullet like i do you can download an WinCDEmu then after you install it. Make folder. Create ISO Insert ISO in VM go to cdrom and copy - paste files.
And also Badass Explosion Productions, when I attempted this, I just cannot get it working. I tend to get a networking error message saying, "The following error occurred while trying to connect 'XYZ:' to 'XYZ'. The computer or sharename could not be found. Make sure you typed it correctly, and try again." Since I did request you to do a follow-up video to this very video, would you be capable of explaining on how to fix this issue? Many thanks.
Hi there, great tutorial, unfortunately I keep getting the access denied message, no matter what I do. You mention something about the IP address but don't explain very well what this means
good video that was helpful, this is how i do it set bridged adapter, run FTP server in W10 client, open cmd > ftp from guest (98/2K) and you can just browse / copy whatever you like with no other changes using native FTP
You have forgot a very important part. In the VirtualBox machine settings under "Network", you need to change the mode of the network adapter from "NAT" to the bridged connection, otherwise this will not work because in the NAT mode all the guest's network traffic is masked as host's. Without that, even the 5) point from the pinned comment wouldn't work.
Sharing tab -> Share -> This opens network access. From the drop down add everyone. Permission level read / write click share. Then every thing else should work. Hopefully. I tired it and as soon as my virtual box hit my folder it BSOD lol good old windows 98.
This doesn't work at all. It breaks my Windoes 98 VM so badly it doesn't even boot anymore once the feature is set up around 1:30, no matter if the feature is turned on or off in the VM settings. I had to delete the entire VM and create a new version. Looks like a virtual floppy is the only thing that's gonna work. :(
i followed every steps but unfortunately the last step when i put host's path on win 98 it says no accessible access is denied if doesn't work maybe i will do the last option: using CD to transfer files
any idea how to stop Windows ME/Millennium from getting BSOD when i access the shared folder? the entire path is \\COMP\share so it's not some strange character or whatever. it worked one time and now it doesn't work at all.
still experiencing the "more data is available" error, even after creating a different folder. ive reset it, rest the host as well (just to be sure) and its still not budging. any ideas?
i did all of it, and i have error message "the computer or share name could not be found". the pathname and folder name is short and shouldn't be a problem regarding the long file names... what's my deal?
What version of Windows 10 Pro are you using? I'm using 1809. I got this working and noticed one thing. Going into Network Neighborhood on Windows 98SE and clicking the Windows 10 machine doesn't let you in, but if you map to the shared drive or folder it does. Just in case anyone runs into that problem, you can't access the machine directly as it appears in Network Neighborhood and see your share drive or folder...doesn't seem to work that way.
Are there any less yucky ways to exchange files between 98 and 10, which wouldn't compromise global sec settings? Maybe via local FTP, SCP or something else?
If you want to do it only once, or at the very least really infrequently, then I'd honestly just recommend mounting and editing the vdi file. If you want to share files more often or do it with a real system instead of a virtual machine, then hosting a little FTP server should be the most reasonable solution - Samba springs to mind, but I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding tons of tutorials on how to set one up. Cheers
Hi, thank you for your informative description! Do you know it is possible to connect a WIN98 comp with a WIN10 comp through wifi (preferable) or crosslink LAN cable?
I'm afraid I don't know that, as I haven't ever tried it, but my guess is that you should be able to use this method (or a variation thereof - see my pinned comment) to achieve it, just with an actual local network rather than Virtual Box adapters. Cheers.
In the last step in the video you get error/retry(6mins in)and then the video is cut, jumps forward and then after the cut you type in the exact same thing again and now it suddenly works(voila!), what happened when the video was cut??? What was the solution to the last problem, cause you obviously had one more problem.
Yeah, sorry about that - I didn't put too much effort into the video... I did want to remake it proper one day. I can't even remember what I did, but it couldn't have been anything significant, since I felt like it was okay to leave it out of the video - probably something like restarting the machine or so. At this point I can only point you to my pinned comment under this video, maybe you'll find something useful there. Cheers.
@@TheScarface43 I struggled to move information at all from win10 to win98, but there is another obvious way to transfer files/information, just pack your files in to an .iso and mount it in virtual cd, then copy/paste those files in win98. So obvious I didn't think about it at first.
I have a small problem I can't write a long password on Windows 98 ... I can't write more passwords ... I have to write at least a short password..Solution? :-/
You can indeed open them, but I'm afraid you can't really add new files to it this way - you're only allowed to browse its contents. BUT! You CAN in fact edit the .vdi file with something like Daemon Tools by mounting the file as a drive. I probably should have mentioned that in the video as well ._.
I turned smb on and now my host pc wont boot into windows edit: got back in... still wont let me move files to it :l just wanted to play amazon trail 3 may just say "fuck it" and try installing the ISO on my steamdeck and run it through lutris or something. i just want to recapture some of the good o'll days
I haven't tried it on Windows 7, so I'm not sure how to help you. You may want to try sharing the folder on the Win98's side and try finding it on your host machine, instead of the other way around. Given that Windows 7 is now quite an old OS it should actually be way easier to connect with 98 than when using Windows 10.
why network? it's so complicated.... why not use THE EASIEST WAY?? 1. make iso with "nusb33" inside (win98se mass storage device) with ultraiso or etc and mount as cd in vbox 2. prepare usb stick and format with fat32, add usb in vbox setting 3. run win98 install nusb33 and restart if ask for driver just browse c:/windows DONE !
thanks for the video, i will definitely try this method tomorrow :) How could I share a printer between windows 10 host and virtual box with windows 98? Help me, I would be so grateful :)
& even after I changed the settings & restarted the PC it still says in the properties window that other users will need a password to access the folder while the settings are saved as I changed them
You should probably read my pinned comment if you haven't already - somewhere in the beginning I mention that you could try using something like Daemon Tools to mount your .vdi file and access it like a regular drive. Hope that helps!

I whant Network File Sharing between Windows 98 and Windows 7 On VirtualBox
F:\is not accessible access is denied i get that message
I did everything you did and even remade the folder but I get access denied.
...this tutorial made windows kill itself. not joking, i can't run windows 98 anymore LMAO

Yes, if win98 has the same connection with the other pc

In the last step in the video you get error/retry(6mins in)and then the video is cut, jumps forward and then after the cut you type in the exact same thing again and now it suddenly works(voila!), what happened when the video was cut??? What was the solution to the last problem, cause you obviously had one more problem.
Yeah, sorry about that - I didn't put too much effort into the video... I did want to remake it proper one day. I can't even remember what I did, but it couldn't have been anything significant, since I felt like it was okay to leave it out of the video - probably something like restarting the machine or so. At this point I can only point you to my pinned comment under this video, maybe you'll find something useful there. Cheers.
@@TheScarface43 I struggled to move information at all from win10 to win98, but there is another obvious way to transfer files/information, just pack your files in to an .iso and mount it in virtual cd, then copy/paste those files in win98. So obvious I didn't think about it at first.
I tried this on PCem but it didn't work, Any tutorials for PCem?
I have a small problem
I can't write a long password on Windows 98 ... I can't write more passwords ... I have to write at least a short password..Solution? :-/
I currently dont have a Windows 98 VM, but it could be helpful when i need it
You play a GTA2?
wow. Its my favorite game. Im working on a new Map editor and script compiler for it.
It is my favorite childhood game, too ;)
6:03 - I can't connect a shared folder. I have done the above steps before. Windows 10 Home Single Language (Russian) 21H2.
quick and dirty alternative to get access on files: open the virtual drive (.vdi) with 7-Zip.
You can indeed open them, but I'm afraid you can't really add new files to it this way - you're only allowed to browse its contents. BUT! You CAN in fact edit the .vdi file with something like Daemon Tools by mounting the file as a drive. I probably should have mentioned that in the video as well ._.
windows 95 needs extra steps but i dont know

hi, how to sharing or make connection between 2 win98 on 2 different PCs?
I turned smb on and now my host pc wont boot into windows
edit: got back in... still wont let me move files to it :l
just wanted to play amazon trail 3 may just say "fuck it" and try installing the ISO on my steamdeck and run it through lutris or something. i just want to recapture some of the good o'll days
you can do this much easier by converting your files to an iso
you're a god
This method doesn't work for me
Friend, it's easier to download VMware Pro 16 and use USB sharing. Virtualbox is useful only for masochists!
Unable to connect even after Enabling SMB1 for windows 7
Same, it continues not finding the folder after activating SMB 1
I haven't tried it on Windows 7, so I'm not sure how to help you. You may want to try sharing the folder on the Win98's side and try finding it on your host machine, instead of the other way around. Given that Windows 7 is now quite an old OS it should actually be way easier to connect with 98 than when using Windows 10.
why network? it's so complicated.... why not use THE EASIEST WAY??
1. make iso with "nusb33" inside (win98se mass storage device) with ultraiso or etc and mount as cd in vbox
2. prepare usb stick and format with fat32, add usb in vbox setting
3. run win98 install nusb33 and restart if ask for driver just browse c:/windows
DONE !
it's more complicated that way than the thing you wrote
thanks for the video, i will definitely try this method tomorrow :)
How could I share a printer between windows 10 host and virtual box with windows 98?
Help me, I would be so grateful :)
will it work with win95?
it still say access denied
Mine keep saying it can't find the path... i tried all the options... Any idea? Thanks
You can try my method on my channel
THANK YOU
i still get an error message it didnt work, thanks for nothing, i feel like u skipped some shit at the end when u said ip address or something
Doesn't work
I changed the "network & sharing" settings as you said, deleted & recreated the folder multiple times but it still requires password
& even after I changed the settings & restarted the PC it still says in the properties window that other users will need a password to access the folder while the settings are saved as I changed them
@@raniakhalil4893 You should probably check out my pinned comment at the top of this comment section - maybe that will be of some help!
I tried this with wifi but its not possible.. Any other way to get files in my VM?
You should probably read my pinned comment if you haven't already - somewhere in the beginning I mention that you could try using something like Daemon Tools to mount your .vdi file and access it like a regular drive. Hope that helps!
I do everything and it still says "Access Denied"
network access. From the drop down add everyone. Permission level read / write click share. Then every thing else should work. Hopefully. I tired it and as soon as my virtual box hit my folder it BSOD lol good old windows 98.
thank you
thanks
thx bro!
does this work on lnux too?
no
