First of all, let me apologize because I know that there are many topics related to my problem. But I could not solve it, so ask the community. Not sure if this is a specific Linux theme or virtual machine virtual box problem, but here is my description of the problem:
- I have a virtual virtual machine with Ubuntu as a guest OS and Windows as a host.
- I divided the folder between them. I also enabled the option to be
create symbolic links inside the public folder
- The network is configured using port forwarding NAT.
- I have PhpStorm installed on the host operating system (in my case Windows) and all the source file stored in the guest operating system (Ubuntu).
- Therefore, I want one folder to have full access for the guest and host systems, so I can edit the source code using PhpStorm and use the same source on Ubuntu. Therefore, from inside Ubuntu, I tried to make a symbolic link in a shared folder . And here I have problems (see Attachment).

On the left site there is a folder of the workspace with projects. And on the right, I tried to create a link inside the public folder (sf_).
PS I do not use SSH to deploy to phpStorm :(
