If you are using VVV and want to create a symlink (for example, in order to have your plugins folder outside the Vagrant installation), the following is a way to do it.

Go to your ./Vagrantfile and add the following code:

if vagrant_version >= "1.3.0"
   config.vm.synced_folder "/Users/path/to/your/plugins/folder/", "/srv/www/wordpress-one/wp-content/plugins", :owner => "www-data", :mount_options => [ "dmode=775", "fmode=774" ]
 else
   config.vm.synced_folder "/Users/path/to/your/plugins/folder/", "/srv/www/wordpress-one/wp-content/plugins", :owner => "www-data", :extra => 'dmode=775,fmode=774'
 end

Details:

• In the ./Vagrantfile you should use the param: config.vm.synced_folder
• The first path should point to the folder where you want to keep your plugins
• The second path should point to the Vagrant folder that has the plugins
