this is a permissions job.

you will have to allow her user to see your home and rwx the VM dir.

you could do this by changing current permissions or adding her to your group or creating a new group that can rwx the VM dir in your home, and change group the VM dir and below to the new group.

:D

sounds a bit sticky with that group or not sticky enough.

so set the sticky bit on the group of your VM dir.

sudo chmod -R g+s /home/name/VMdir

this is just like you did before but setting the sticky bit on the group.

this means you will both use the permissions of the owner of the files. It is more complicated than that but there is always google.

:D
