VMware Player file sharing for host & guest???
There's already a solution for filesharing if the host happens to be Windows, but I've spent lots of hours searching the internet & forums for a solution for Linux as the host with no solution...
I know VMware Workstation can share files through NAT or Samba, and that VMplayer does have a NAT configuration but doesn't finnish setting it up.
Personally I find C++ or assembly easier to understand than networking. Has anyone found a solution for Linux yet? It makes the Linux community look bad that Windows was able to do filesharing 1st between host & guest.
Maybe if there were some sample VMware Workstation NAT &/or Samba configurations posted, these could be compared to the VMware Player configuration to get it's filesharing working in Linux. |

If you mean getting files from the host to the client, you should just be able to enable shared folders under Windows, then set up a samba share on the host.
Gentoo (host) sees 'Documents on Vmware'
Win XP (client) sees 'Programs on Samba Server 3.0.20b (Simon)'
