VMware Workstation Virtual Machine (client) Creation and host sharing folder

 

In virtual machines, we sometimes need to interact with the local machine, but we are often overwhelmed by such a simple problem, so it will be tedious to transmit data through the network, or directly through a USB flash disk, data Interaction between the local machine and the virtual machine.

This article introduces a simple method to solve the problem of data interaction between the virtual machine and the local machine.

First introduce my computer environment. The host system is Windows 7 and thinkpad E40. The Virtual Machine VMware Workstation is installed on the computer. The version is 7.1.4 build-385536. In this virtual machine, the installed client operating system is Ubuntu 11.10. My current goal is to download the software with thunder in Windows 7, then go to Ubuntu and install my software in the Ubuntu operating system.

The procedure is as follows:

1. Create a specified folder on the local machine. I created the Ubuntu folder under the Local elastic drive, and then set it to share. Move the cursor to the folder, right-click, and select Properties. Click share

Select _ vmware_user and pay attention to the permission level on the right. It is best to set it to "read/write" for convenience.

Click share in the lower right corner, so that the folder on the local machine has been set.

 

2. Set the Virtual Machine vmware, the specific settings refer to the http://www.baike369.com/content? Id = 1124. Note that this article only reads "2. Setting shared folders in vmwarevm"

I cannot guarantee that it is okay for other articles.

3. After the virtual machine is set up, start your Ubuntu virtual client operating system. At this time, we open the Ubuntu file system and click "Browse network" in "network". Here I have a "windows Network". After clicking it all the way down, you can see the folder you set in 2. You can read the content directly.

 

In this way, the data sharing between the entire virtual machine and the local machine is complete!
