Procedure

Depending on the Windows operating system version, look for VMware Shared Folders in My

Network Places, Network Neighborhood, or Network.

If you mapped the shared folder as a network drive, open My Computer and look for Shared Folders

on 'vmware-host' under Network Drives.

To view a specific shared folder, go directly to the folder by using the UNC path \\vmware-

host\Shared Folders\shared_folder_name.

Mounting Shared Folders in a Linux Guest

After you have enabled a shared folder, you can mount one or more directories or subdirectories in the

shared folder to any location in the file system in addition to the default location of /mnt/hgfs.

Use the mount command to mount all shares, one share, or a subdirectory within a share to any location in

the file system.

Table 4‑1. Mount Command Syntax

Command Description

mount -t vmhgfs .host:/ /home/user1/shares Mounts all shares to /home/user1/shares

mount -t vmhgfs .host:/foo /tmp/foo Mounts the share named foo to /tmp/foo

mount -t vmhgfs .host:/foo/bar /var/lib/bar Mounts the subdirectory bar within the share

foo to /var/lib/bar

You can use VMware-specific options in addition to the standard mount syntax. For usage information for

the host-guest file system options, type the command /sbin/mount.vmhgfs -h.

When you install VMware Tools, an entry is made to etc/fstab to specify the location of shared folders. You

can edit this file to change or add entries. For example, to auto-mount at startup, edit /etc/fstab and add

the line:

.host:/ /mnt/hgfs vmhgfs defaults 0 0

The VMware Tools services script loads a driver that performs the mount. If the mount fails, a message

appears regarding mounting HGFS shares.

NOTE The mount can fail if shared folders are disabled or if the share does not exist. You are not prompted

to run the VMware Tools vmware-config-tools.pl configuration program again.

Using Permissions to Restrict Access to Shared Files in a Linux Guest

You can use permissions to restrict access to the files in a shared folder on a Linux guest operating system.

On a Linux host, if you create files that you want to share with a Linux guest operating system, the file

permissions shown on the guest operating system are the same as the permissions on the host system. You

can use the fmask and dmask commands to mask permissions bits for files and directories.

If you create files on a Windows host system that you want to share with a Linux guest operating system,

read-only files are displayed as having read and execute permission for everyone and other files are shown

as fully writable by everyone.

If you use a Linux guest operating system to create files for which you want to restrict permissions, use the

mount program with the following options in the guest operating system.

uid

gid

fmask
