How do I drag a copy file from the host to the VM ?, Virtual Machine vm
1. First, make sure that your virtual machine is installed with vmware tools
① Click the Virtual Machine (M) of the virtual machine to reproduce and install VMware Tools (T)
② At this time, the system will pop up loading the Virtual CD drive and click to open the file
③ After opening the file, you can copy all the files in the folder to one of your own folders, for example, on the desktop
④ Ctrl + ALT + t open the terminal,
Enter the command: cd Desktop
Tar-xvf VMwareTools-10.0.0-2977863.tar.gz (Note: The file name here is the name of the .gz file on your desk, based on your own version)
At this time, a folder should be added to your desktop. Run the following command:
Cdvmware-tools-distrib
Sudo./vmware-install.pl
Then enter the password, enter/YES, And then OK!
The installation of VMware tools is complete. Drag the file to the liunx system! 2. After installing VMware tools, if you still cannot solve the problem of dragging and copying files from the host to the VM, try the following methods:
① Copy dongdongxi in windows and paste it in linux. It is sometimes feasible and sometimes unavailable. You can try to see it in the service,
Click Task Manager> service to check whether any service item starting with vmware has not been started.
Generally, Kingsoft guard or 360 anti-virus software installed on a computer sometimes closes some boot start items of the vmwarevm. Ensure that all services starting with VMware are enabled and restart the computer.
② Virtual Machine --> client isolation, enable drag-and-drop and copy-and-paste if selected
③ Select Fit window now (automatically adapted to the client) in the View menu, and then drag the file.
The reason is: if the desktop size of your virtual machine is smaller than the size of the VMware window, you cannot drag the file (also seen in a forum, do not know the reason, however, you can copy it after View> automatically adapts to the client ).
④ There is a small difference between the ubuntu version and the earlier version when dragging files:
For example, if I use Ubuntu 15.10 and drag a file to the interface, the file cannot be copied directly to the system. You can open a folder in Ubuntu first, drag the file you want to copy to this folder, and you can copy it at will!
