After Ubuntu14.04 is installed, file sharing is set in the virtual machine settings, but there is no hgfs directory in the mnt directory. I can't do it as I said on the Internet, so I have to give up, use samba to share files between Windows and Ubuntu.
Environment:
Host system: Window XP
Virtual Machine: VMware-workstation-full-9.0.1-894247
Virtual Machine System: ubuntu-14.04-desktop-i386.iso
First install samba: sudo apt-get install samba
Create a folder in the user directory and Set Properties
The shared file name cannot be too long, otherwise it may not be accessible.
Set the shared folder. The following is how to access this directory in the Window.
View the IP address of the VM and run the ifconfig command.
Enter the IP address you just queried to access the VM.
Double-click the directory you set. If you need the user name and password, enter the user name and password of your VM system.
If the following options are selected, the above logon interface will not pop up.
After entering the directory, you can copy the file you want to share to this directory.
You can access your files on Ubuntu.
