[PLUG] Can't see files in Virtualbox shared device

[elcaseti .]

I just wish that Garmin had a Linux tool so as not to have to use
Windows.=====  Agreed, that would be very helpful.

Earlier in this post, there was discussion of sshfs.  This led me to
discover "https://www.remmina.org/wp/", a GUI tool for remote desktop
applications.  I'm not sure it would be helpful in this case, but it seems
like a useful tool that isn't well known.
