Another newbie question: (how) can I move files into/out VM?

So, I have my old image of workstation XP running on my new Win8 workstation.

Let's say I have a file on my new computer and want to copy in my VM world.

I could send email from one to the other, but is there a more direct way?

'Share' a directory between the host and the VM without using Windows on a network?

Or should I turn on the networks of working groups and doing it this way?

(I see that after you install the player my Win8 Task Manager shows two additional Ethernet, what with that anyway?)

Thank you

Josh

You can configure shared between operating systems using the Industry Standard SMB/CIFS file sharing or the VMware Shared Folders feature.  The latter is easier for those who do not understand the network.  Take a look at the "transfer files and text" in the documentation.

For other network cards, see the documentation!   Specifically Chapter 7 "Configuring network connections" in the getting started with VMware Player (PDF).

Also take a look at: Presentation of products types networks hosted (1006480)

  • How can I move files and leave a shortcut.lnk pointing to the new location.

    I'm trying to move only a TON of old files to a hard drive to free up space to backup.  I can't empty just them, it's a working environment with integrated (and archaic) process.  They must be able to find the new files without go hunting for them.  How can I move all the files that has not been changed since 2 years and leaves a link behind that points to the new location?

    I used successfully a utility call NoClone.  The goal is to search for duplicate files, but it has a way to specify any search string (date function as you requested) and then move all files to a new location, leaving behind .lnk files

    I used it to clear space on file shares, any movement toward a archive read-only stored on a NAS that gets backed up once per year.  In this way, nothing changes on the NAS of the end user (no need to save often).  If you need to edit the file, they copy him on its original location.

    If you have a lot of files, download the business version.

    In recent years I finally used, so I don't know if there is a newer version that might not work as did the old version.

  • How can I move files from project FCPX to a new computer?

    I need to spend several libraries and their events, clips and projects of an external hard drive that I used with my laptop while traveling. One of the problems is that the laptop did not survive the trip so I can't use the function "move project". How can I do this and maintain the media links? I just copy everything on my desk and then create a link to the files?

    Libraries are moved in the Finder. Your storage media - in the library or exrternaly?

  • How can I move files and change, add or remove folders to rearrange my images in my photos?

    My photos are terribly unorganized and I want to organize them.  How can I do this without losing any files/folders?

    Create a bunch of folders, one for each of the categories you want
    organize. Then drag-and - drop or copy-and - paste hence they are
    in these new cases. If you do not know how to drag-and - drop and
    cut-and - paste, ticket return for more information.

    Your fear of losing files and folders also suggests that you do not have
    a backup copy. If this is the case, you are playing with fire.  It is always
    possible a disk hard crash, error of the user, near the lightning,
    virus attack, even stolen computer, may result in loss of
    everything on your drive. As it has often been said, it is not a question of
    If you have a problem, but when.

  • How can I move files to the system folder?

    Hi all

    I was wondering how to move files to the system folder. With the update to El Capitan and the former program is no longer works and the developer suggests moving some files on the system folder that should fix it, but even if an administrator account I don't have write access to the system-> library folder where they need to go. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Steve

    In short: you do not have. The folder/System is only for Apple.  The new protections in El Capitan make it impossible for you to place the files.

    This is what the folder/library for: install additional components to the system, but keeping them separated from the basic installation.

    What software are you trying to run? What files we told you to move? I'm curious to know what type of developer will tell you to put the files in / System.

  • How can I put files into groups

    I load pictures from my camera, but they are all placed in the same file.  How do I separate them into different files?  I have over 1000 pictures in one file.  It is difficult to manage.  Any suggestions appreciated.

    Just make records to match with the content of the images it contains.  Example: For images that contain you, make a folder with your name and put these photos in it.  The organizer did a great job of sorting anyway you want.  Have you tried to use the Organizer in Photoshop?

  • How can I move my photos out of Media Smart to another file on my computer, as my images?

    I uploaded my photos from my camera for the first time using HP Mediasmart, and now I can't get them in my normal photo file called, my images. I usually use a windows program to download on my computer, but thought I would try something new. Now my pictures are deleted from my camera, and I can't get them in my normal photo collection! There is no way of doing drag or right-click or anything! How does this work?

    I think I'm starting to see what your situation is now.

    Yes the manual way of drag n drop might seem not as smooth if your used to a user interface that automatically sorts.

    When I copy photos through a job, I have a folder of work with subfolders organized by alphabetical order. These colors may also be called by Date, or YOU want.  Inside of each of them, I have two folders with names of customers, dates, places or whatever the occasion.

    And it's easier for me to track where each series of photos are found.

    You can organize a system of files that suites you how you want to. The idea is that you know you have them there when you need it. Not guess. I do not recommend putting all the photos in one folder. It would be a nightmare to find.

    If you want to get more in photo editing and/or organization program specifically, there is a lot out there.

    I use Adobe Lightroom, which will download the photos from your card reader and place them where you tell him.

    It makes vast photo adjustments but its US $150.

    A free alternative to LR is a project open source called LightZone. It mimics most of the layout of Lightroom. You must register on their website first before you download. I did not use LZ.

    These aren't for the timid if they have a learning curve for them.
