In VMware, the shared folder HGFS between Ubuntu and Windows hosts is empty.

After the virtual machine tool is installed, the/mnt/HGFS directory is mounted successfully. However, after the shared folder is added to the VM, the HGFS is still empty. After searching for the shared folder on the Internet, the solution is as follows:

1. sudo apt-Get install Open-VM-dkms
2. sudo Mount-T vmhgfs. HOST: // MNT/HGFS

Then, you can view the shared files in the HGFS directory.

Or create a shell file.

Touch/usr/lcoal/bin/mnt

Chmod 775/usr/lcoal/bin/mnt

Gedit/usr/lcoal/bin/mnt

Copy

Sudo Mount-T vmhgfs. HOST: // MNT/HGFS

Save and exitAfter the virtual machine tool is installed, the/mnt/HGFS directory is mounted successfully. However, after the shared folder is added to the VM, the HGFS is still empty. After searching for the shared folder on the Internet, the solution is as follows:
