Kernel version >= 3.10 (if open-vm-tools = 4.0).open-vm-tools version is at 10.0.0 or greater.I am still not sure the VMware tools are installed completely, since typing vmware-hgsclient in the guest OS terminal returns the error 'command not found'. I have gone through the VMware manual, and I am sure that I have followed their requirements. but the /mnt/hgfs folder, where my shared folder was meant to appear, remains empty! And added my folder.Īs per the suggestion of several posts on here, I've run multiple times, e.g.:

VM -> Settings -> Options -> Shared Folders.Shared the folder with everyone (to assure that there is no permit limitations with my files).Then I have done the steps below to enable folder sharing from the host to the guest OS: The easiest way, drag&dropping files from host to guest, does not work properly, as one or more files always ends up being of a smaller file size and thus corrupted, even though there is enough storage space in the virtual machine. I've been trying to share a folder between my guest, Cent OS, and host, Windows 10, using VMWare Workstation 14 Player.
