I've looked quite some time for this, and just can't find anything.

Is there a way to access a VirtualBox guest consolle, via headless host SSH session? I.e. without any RDP/VNC protocols, just like on Xen, via xen console VMNAME?

No, but you can run SSH on the guest and since version 4, you can even forward ports across the NAT as well.

I would gladly do this, but for this I need to change the static IP on guest machine (which was imported from another host). – SyRenity Jun 21 '11 at 21:50
Unfortunately, no SSH into the hypervisor layer in lieu the vRDP functionality. – user48838 Jun 21 '11 at 21:54
Thanks, eventually setting up RDP was much easier then thought, and it even punched through firewall via port 80: forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?p=12723087 – SyRenity Jun 23 '11 at 9:20
Glad that it worked out for you. – user48838 Jun 23 '11 at 20:10
