This page summarizes the steps to mount a windows shared folder in a Linux VMware guest machine, i.e. SUSE.
Setup shared folder
In Virtual Machine Settings windows, add shared folder.
/project/tools/resources/5C7EF325-AF56-5CEA-A65D-B2F1B48280AB.webp
Verify it in Linux guest machine
Run the following command line in your virtual machine:
/usr/bin/vmware-hgfsclient
This command will output the available shares:
/project/tools/resources/9B74FF79-38E7-5AB7-B183-ADA5F90AD920.webp
As you can see in the above screenshot, I have added a share named python-bio.
Mount the share
Run the following command to mount it:
sudo vmhgfs-fuse -o nonempty -o allow_other .host:/python-bio /home/tangf/mounts/python-bio/
In my case, I am mounting share python-bio to folder /home/tangf/mounts/python-bio/.
Verify
You can then change directory to the mount folder and list the files in it using command ‘ls -alt’
