greatlanta.blogg.se - Ubuntu vm shared folder

If I missed something that might also spoil things, feel free to add to this answer. Restart the VM, and check whether the test file also appears on the guest - using the graphical File System on the guest's desktop:

Put some test file test.txt in E:\VM_SHARE on the host. The right attributes should now be: -rwxr-xr-x Make it executable: sudo chown root /etc/rc.local In my case this line started with the wrong attributes: -rw-r-r.

No you're not there yet, the file must be made executable:.

Important, the first line in this file has to be: #!/bin/sh -e

From the terminal window create (or add to) the - in my case also missing - file /etc/rc.local:Īdd the following line: sudo mount -t fuse.vmhgfs-fuse.

Open a terminal window in the guest, and create the missing folder: I just open the rhapsody project, can edit and save it and get it to generate files into the shared project/autogen folder directly on the VM.

According to this the shared folder on the guest is supposed to appear in /mnt/hgfs but the last folder was missing on my system.

To REALLY setup a shared folder for both OS:Ĭreate the shared folder on the host, e.g.: E:\VM_SHARE The required VMware Tools for Linux have been installed (I use a premade VM image which had them already embedded). I have a working VMware Workstation Player (VMWP) with Windows 10 Home as the host and Kali Linux 2020.2 as guest OS. I finally assembled everything I found into my answer, and tested it successfully. Executed the instructions mentioned in that video, and as expected, that guy on Youtube left out half the story to make it really work - even by reading up on the comments.
