VMware Fusion Shared Folders

Shared folders on Linux use FUSE

 

Mounting Shared Folders in a Linux Guest (vmware.com)

 

Enumerate shares from the Linux command line

You can list the shares with a CLI utility:

> vmware-hgfsclient apl_marius_lsg ...

 

Bash script to mount select shared folders on Linux

#!/bin/bash /usr/bin/vmhgfs-fuse .host:/apl_marius_lsg ~/apl_marius_lsg -o subtype=vmhgfs-fuse,allow_other,allow_root
  • allow_other - other users can access the shared fuse mount

  • allow_root - useful if you have elevated processes

If you want to share folders, you cannot select softlinks (or other virtual file-systems on the host OS)
