Two steps to do:

  1. I want to create virtual USB drivers on my Ubuntu host
  2. Then, I want to connect every virtual machine in the virualbox to one of those virtual USB drivers for copying things between those servers (machines) .

I found second step in here, but couldn't find first step or anything similar!

Does anybody know how to create virtual USB? Does it need a special software of just can be made via command line?

Update

After days of searching I found this link and seems it has what I've been looking for! However, I couldn't install it. Can you give me a hand in this?

The readme file says:

To compile the driver you need to have source codes of your OS kernel. Default Makefile is searching for kernel source codes in "/usr/src/linux" folder to compile the driver. If your kernel is in the other folder you can point its location in the file system using KERNELDIR variable.

e.g.: make KERNELDIR=/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.17.5

After successful driver compilation there will be tusbd.ko file in the "/modules/src/tusbd/" folder. This file is necessary for USB Server operation

I don't know how to do that.

If this is just for sharing files, wouldn't it be easier to do with a network shared drive? – pjc50 Feb 5 at 14:16
no actually it's for testing the application I'm developing in my company , it must be a USB and only a USB , I'm so tired of searching and asking ! it's like no body ever had done this :\ – SafeY Feb 5 at 14:32
