Implementing file sharing between Win7 and Linux virtual machines in VMWare workstation

There are several steps to sharing a folder:

Setting up shared folders, shutting down the virtual machine before setting up sharing (this is important)

To VMware, Vm->settings:

default File Share: options->shared Folders: Always Enabled:

Then add the folder: Add shared folder, where you set the directory and name of the shared folders (called shared)

The last step is to turn on sharing: enable this share

Open the virtual machine to detect if our shared module is installed:

Cd/mnt[[email protected] www]# cd/mnt[[email protected] mnt]# lltotal 5dr-xr-xr-x. 1 root root 4192 Apr 8 18:13 Hgfs

See there is Hgfs folder, we share the folder is learning, should be in this directory, if the directory does not have the shared folder we set, run the command again:

[Email protected] mnt]# modprobe Vmhgfs

If you return

Fatal:module Vmhgfs not found.

That requires the reinstallation of VMware Tools

Vm->reinstall VMware Tools

Finally, run the PL script again to

Ubuntu system sudo vmware-config-tools.pl centosvmware-config-tools.pl

Finally, let's take a look at the effect

[Email protected] mnt]# CD Hgfs/[[email protected] hgfs]# lltotal 0drwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Apr 8 18:06 shared
