In order to better solve the virtual machine and host sharing problem, VMware Company has a vmware-tools, to achieve file sharing. This is mainly about using VMware virtual Linux to share with Windows under Windows.
1, install the client system, Linux here selected CentOS7
2, start the Linux in the virtual machine, (note must be started after the virtual machine). Select the VM option in the menu, which has a subkey that is install VMware Tools, selected. Start the installation.
3, then in the Files GUI window will be seen on the left with VMware Tools
4. Move the compressed file somewhere else to decompress (this folder is read-only)
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom
5, in the folder is not seen a vmware-install.pl
Execute with Su-swap permissions./vmware-install.pl
6, then be prompted the installer will next check if there are any missing kernel driver. Type Yes if you are want to do this,otherwise type no [yes] of course yes, direct return.
Then use the default/usr/bin to install, direct return, and then all the way to return (the middle number is the default no)
Now that you've done all the work, you'll see the added folders under/mnt/hgfs. Writing files to the specified share folders under Windows can be seen in Linux clients, as well as writing files on Linux that can be seen under Windows and modified.
Uninstall the optical drive
umount /mnt/cdrom
