The file shared between Linux and the Host OS under VMWare-Linux Enterprise Application-Linux server application information. The following is a detailed description. The original Article is from vmware.cn. Copying is purely a backup.
I used VMware5.5 and installed RH7.2 without X.
The steps are as follows:
1. Enter LINUX as ROOT;
2. Press CTRL + ALT to enter the host operating system, click the installation prompt in the VMWARE status bar, or click the enable vmware tools sub-menu under the SETTING menu;
PS: For version 5.5, choose "VM"> "Install VMware Tools" from the menu bar.
3. Confirm the installation of vmware tools. At this time, the vmware tools software package is not installed. If you click the menu: DEVICES, you will find that the menu Text of the optical drive is changed to: ide1: 0-> C: \ Program Files \ VMware Workstation \ Programs \ linux. iso, which means that VMWARE uses the linux iso image file as the VM's CD
PS: After I confirm the installation, VMware will not automatically load the ISO file. You need to manually load the Linux. iso file. The ISO file is under the installation directory of VMware.
4. Click the LINUX interface to go to LINUX.
5. Run the following command. Note the case sensitivity.
Mount-t iso9660/dev/cdrom/mnt
Load the CDROM device, then if you enter the/mnt directory, you will find an additional file: vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz. This is the LINUX software package of wmware tools, which we saw when we used WINISO to open the LINUX. ISO file.
Cp/mnt/vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz/tmp
Copy the package to the TMP directory of LINUX.
PS: Unlike vmwareexample, the files in this tarfile may be different. It is generally the vmware-linux-tools- number-.tar.gz, and do not need to hide it.
Umount/dev/cdrom
Uninstall CDROM.
Cd/tmp
Enter the TMP directory
Tar zxf vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz
Decompress the package to the vmware-linux-tools directory (with the same name as the file name) by default ).
Cd vmware-linux-tools
Enter the decompressed directory
./Install. pl
Run the installation command.
6. The rest is to press enter, unless you want to configure and install it yourself ......
After installing tools, you can Add several OS Folders in VM> Setting> Options> Shared Folders, access/mnt/hgfs to view the Shared directory.
