The main problem here is to realize the easy and quick copying and pasting between Linux system and Windows system.

Like Ctrl + C is as convenient as CTRL + V.

System environment: RHEL5,WINXP or ubuntu12.04 (Linux), Win7 system

The following directives are executed under the executive permission of the Superuser.

To solve this problem, just install a vmware-tools tool on Ubuntu.

1. Open the virtual machine's menu "VM" ( my note: The first step can be done in the graphical interface )

The drop-down box inside will have an installation option for the VMware Tools tool.

After clicking, vmware...tar.gz files will appear under Ubuntu Desktop, (home/usrname/),

You may also need to double-click the CD-ROM drive in order to appear in the CD-ROM mware...tar.gz files.

or #mount/dev/cdrom/media (if prompted, ignore this hint)

#cd/media

The vmware...tar.gz file will appear.

2. Copy this file to the/tmp file for decompression

CP vmware...gz/tmp

Cd/tmp

TAR-XZVF vmware...gz

3. This is the directory that will appear after decompression. (Vmware-tools-distrib directory). Then perform a compile operation for./vmware-install.pl

CD VM ...

./vmware-install.pl

Start the installation, all the way to the return.

4. Finally, the Ubuntu terminal restarts the system on the line!!!

Reboot

Then you can experiment, copy the data under RHEL5 or Ubuntu and paste it in Windows,

------If not successful, the installation is unsuccessful!!!
