Installing Vmware-tools for file sharing between Linux and Win7

Install Vmware-tools to implement file sharing between Linux and Win7.

1. Tar xvf vmwaretools*.tar.gz–c/tmp

Cd/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib # #有必要给该目录加执行权限 Chmod–r +x *

./vmware-install.pl

Yes, and then restart Linux

1. Check the Vmblock, Vmxnet, Vmhgfs and other module loading conditions (if not found, uninstall and then install, try a few more times. This is the comparison pit Ah!! Redhat is installed several times on the can. Ubuntu does not know for a moment?? )

Lsmod | Grep–i VMS

Vmblock 16544 3
Vmmemctl 11484 0
Vmhgfs 42896 0 # #这个模块是关键, the key to sharing files, Vmhgfs effect, you can share.
Vmxnet 16896 0

PS: If there is no output, the module does not load correctly.

2.vmware Workstation Add a shared folder.

tab-Virtual machine-settings-option-sharefloders (always enabled)

3. Uninstalling Vmware-tool

vmware-uninstall-tools.pl

PS: for ubuntu14 workstation11 vmtools Older, incompatible then./vmware-install.pl the installation process is problematic VMHGFS the module cannot be installed successfully. It is possible to test the UBUNTU12 version. No other version of 14 has ever been tried. But Ubuntu long-term support version is not very good compatibility, resulting in the compilation of Vmhgfs modules.

4. View mount status and access to the shared directory, basically under the Hgfs directory under the MNT
