VMware Player share folder under guest OS Ubuntu

September 9th, 2011 admin Leave a comment Go to comments

If you can’t find share folder under guest OS Ubuntu, maybe other linux, Just do it according the following sequence,

1. make sure your Virtual machine is powered off.

2. edit your virtual machine’s configuration to make a share folder, and enable it, for example, my host is Windows 7 Bit64, my share floder is C:\Test

3. power the Guest OS, for example, my Guest OS is Ubuntu 11.04, VMplayer is V3.14

4. IMPORTANT,  open a terminal, run “sudo vmware-config-tools.pl” , please don’t input ”

5. open places-Computer-Filesystem, under /mnt/hgfs, you will find the share folder. Congratulation!

 

It’s simple, isn’t it? Just re-config vmware-tools, heheeee

 

If it works, please give me a reply. Thanks.
