VMWare开启共享文件夹（vmwaretools）

woyoudn

　　Windows环境下安装了Linux虚拟机，如果要安装大型软件（例如Oracle），难道需要把安装包上传上去吗（超占空间）？
能直接访问Windows下才磁盘文件就好了。

 
 
强大的VMWare支持文件夹共享功能，这样虚拟机就能无缝访问Windows下的硬盘内容了。
 

1. 开VMWare共享文件夹功能

在关闭虚拟机状态下，右击待指定虚拟机 --> 设置 --> 选项 --> 共享文件夹 --> 总是启用 --> 添加 -->确定


 
 
示例共享了G:\下的几个目录


 

2. 安装vmwaretools
　　打开虚拟机 --> 右击待安装的虚拟机 --> 安装VMware Tools -->此时（虚拟）系统会默认打开 VMWare的安装压缩包
　　
　　

 
　　
　　Extract解压到任意一个目录下（例子解压缩到/tmp/vmwaretools）-->右击Open in Terminal（在命令行中打开）
　　
　　

 
　　安装即为简单，根据回显提示，一路yes或者no即可，注意使用root用户安装。安装全过程如下：

You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take
effect.
You can now run VMware Tools by invoking "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox-cmd" from the
command line.
To enable advanced X features (e.g., guest resolution fit, drag and drop, and
file and text copy/paste), you will need to do one (or more) of the following:
1. Manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user
2. Log out and log back into your desktop session; and,
3. Restart your X session.
