• Shared folders is longer supported?

  In Ubuntu 14.04 (faithful), I correctly filled and installed VMwareTools - 9.6.1 - 1378637.tar.gz, using patches to https://github.com/rasa/vmware-tools-patches/tree/master/patches/vmhgfs.

  
  

  I am able to mount a shared folder, but the folder is not usable. Instead, a "Not a directory" error. For example:

  # ls-l/mnt/hgfs

  method: cannot open the directory/mnt/hgfs: not a directory

  
  

  This problem has been reported previously to Re: problem module vmhgfs vmware-tools workstation 9.0.3 inspired 3.13.5 - 103 kernel fedora 19

  and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1272196/ .

  Note that https://bugs.Launchpad.NET/Ubuntu/+source/open-VM-tools/+bug/1272196/comments/5 States:

  
  

  "The vmhgfs module (host VMWare <>- Comments file system)" is no longer supported by VMWare and it builds on recent kernels.".

  
  

  Is it, in fact, true? Shared folders is longer supported?

  
  

  If so, what are the alternatives (other than NFS, Samba, SSHFS, etc.)?
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Hello @rasa

  Unfortunately, I can't make an official statement from VMware, but I think you're wrong interpret this answer.

  The problem is that the distribution of VMware tools is a bit 'complex', the reason is actually to simplify things and have all of the drivers in VMware conveyed by the respective kernel developers and linux distributions.

  There are 3 different "tracks".

  1 Linux "inbox" drivers, for example. the drivers that are part of the kernel / linux distributions, these include, network driver vmxnet3, pvscsci driver, memory balloon pilot, vmwgfx 3d graphics driver, drivers vmci and vsock, see also: KB VMware: VMware for Linux VMware Windows support

  Down on this page you can find the part that responds to your question:

  Why a version of an operating system do not include the vmhgfs driver?

  The vmhgfs driver has been added upstream. To work around this situation, install VMware Tools provided with the workstation or Fusion products, who will install the lack vmhgfs drivers. The VMware Tools installer does not disturb VMware Windows included with the operating system.

  2 open-vmware-tools drivers, these are extra libraries extending the features. This used to contain everything that in the past but parts have been moved to inbox drivers and the part you are looking for drivers - vmhgfs - is part of the supply of office products. See also: KB VMware: VMware to open-vm-tools support

  3. the vmware tools bundled package. This is where you find the vmhgfs driver, your problem is now that you are trying to use Ubuntu 14.04 and that the OS is not out yet (next month). I installed it without any customization here, and while I can list the mount point, that is not to have the shared folder. Drag & drop between guests however works. I'll take a look at why it does not list the part after the OS is updated to the most recent (update has not since last week)

  hope this helps,

  Edit: FWIW I reinstalled the vmware tools and he has indeed missed out on the vmhgfs driver. While I can probably patch (errors appear quite trivial) I'm not in that much of a need and prefer to wait that Ubuntu has released faithful and VMware has updated the vmware tools. For now I just use drag & drop as mentioned above.

• Cannot save files in shared folders

  Hello

  I'm under VM Fusion on Leopard with a Windows XP Machine.  I am able to browse and open files on the disk to my Mac using the shared folders drive.  However when I come to save all the changes I get an error saying that the file could not be saved. I tried save the file locally and then copy the file across Explorer and I get an access denied error.

  This turns out to be a good pain and am now having to resort using a USB drive to copy the files through the, which is quite tedious

  Has anyone encountered this problem?  I have now upgraded to the latest version of VM Fusion 2, but this has not yet resolved the problem

  Any help would be welcome

  See you soon

• Shared folders gone

  I work with version 1.0.1 on Yosemite 10.10.5 Photos (Mac Pro Mid 2010, 2 x 3.33 GHz 6 - Core Intel Xeon, 48 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC)

  Today, suddenly my files shared in the toolbar of left missing so that the complete 'shared' - option.

  It happened when someone had added a photo to a shared folder. Photos icon shows a '1', indicating that the photo has been added. But I can't find shared folders more and do not know where to see the photo.

  I am connected to iCloud and I there active streaming option as well as the photo of iCloud sharing option. I left pictures, shot these Photos options off and on again, restarted and it was the same thing.

  On my iPhone, I can see the shared folder still exists. It ist just isn't on my Mac desktop.

  Can someone help me out here? Thanks in advance!

  Do you hear, to the title of the 'Shared' section is also absent from the sidebar?  If you still see the 'Shared' title, move the pointer to the right reveal hidden ShowHide control. and click on 'display '.

  

  If even the title is missing, check if your current photo library will continue to operate as a Photo library system.  In the Photos > preferences > shared "Use as system library" option should be greyed out.

  Check your system preferences > iCloud > Photos > Options, if iCloud photo sharing is still.

  Check your Photos > preferences > iCloud, if iCloud photo sharing is still.

  The owner of the shared album may have deleted the album. Then it vanish inyour library too.

• R7800 cannot see shared folders SMB VPN

  Hello

  I started to use VPN on the R7800 service, and I can use Remote Desktop connection Microsoft 9.3 iOS app to connect to my computer at home (8.1 Windows) through the internet, as if I was on the LAN (192.168.1.2). However, the apps that read SMB shared folders do not detect them (BREW 4 pro). Similarly, on my Nexus 6 p, solid explore cannot open shared folders when connected via VPN. Is it possible to read SMB from Windows shared folders remotely via VPN on the R7800?

  I tried to ping 192.168.1.2 too from my iPad and there is no answer. When I ping my Android devices, however they respond. But, again, RDP to this computer works, so I don't know what is happening, someone with more knowledge can help?

  Please verify ICMP and SMB service on your PC. If it is on the local subnet change it to EVERYTHING.

• Shared folders is disconnected and impossible to reconnect to the drive already in use error letter

  I have a XP Pro SP3 with all the recommended updates installed as of 10/02/2011 that sporadically will lose connections to all shared folders on the domain controller Server 2003 SP2.  The actions will connect and be accessible on initial login/start, but after an indeterminate amount of time all drives mapped on the 2 k 3 server disconnects themselves.  Actions that are located on a Samba server are always accessible and only this one workstation is having issues.  I also made sure that there is no other disk, physical or mapped, which have the same letters assigned on this workstation.   Another thing I noticed is that it seems that to do so for a particular user who is an administrator.  All users of all types seem to be able to work without any problems.

• Home network not working not not because of 'ComputerName' not in the list of shared folders.

  My simple home network of 2 PCs with XP, SP3 and a Netgear WNDR3700 router was working fine. I changed ISP and now cannot get the home network to the top. Run the home networking on every PC wizard implements the internal IP of 192.168.1.1 for the router and 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 for 2 PCs. Shared folders and files appear to be configured correctly and successfully, I can ping the router and the other PC from each PC. After the Microsoft troubleshooting procedure, everything is good until I get to the stage where the "ComputerName" must appear in the list of shared folders in computer management, System Tools, shared folders, shares. All other devices and shared folders appear correctly on each PC. It is about the last step in troubleshooting, but I can't in front of her. What can I do? Or is the wrong thing? I'm almost to the point of thinking there is something in the registry (added with my ISP change process) that stop working. Help!

  In general, it is due to a firewall, in which case advice Jack will help.  In addition, there are a condition [rare] where the Type of a computer node becomes defined 'Counterparts' or 'P Pei' that will stop the communications between computers.  Bring up a command prompt (start-> Run-> "cmd") and enter the command:
  ipconfig/all
  If the 'Type of node' line presents itself as "Peer-Peer" or "Pp" or type "P", ("Broadcasting", "Mixed" and "Hybrids" are OK) then check out the following article:

• How to reset the shared folders, showing network after modified/deleted folder

  System: Windows Vista 64-bit

  Problem: after files moved or modified, they persist in network folder, for example:\\my-pc\

  It seems that their ghosts never die. Even when I put the file back to what was before, they are not accessible, and read error message, "you might not have permission to use this network resource...". »

  They are listed under ' computer management > shared folders > actions ", but I can't delete them or change them.

  Why there is no easy way I can change the shared folders?

  answer: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  The only way I found to clean these entries is to use Regedit to edit the registry.  First the standard warning from Microsoft:

  ----------------
  Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

• Vista can ping machine to another, but cannot access shared folders on the machine

  Hi experts,

  Recently, we have problems with some Vista machines to access shared folders on other Vista machines. This seems to happen after the automatic updates of windows.

  These 'problem' machines are able to ping other machines 'good' but is unable to connect to shared folders machines 'good '.

  The reverse works fine ('good' machines can ping and access 'problem' machines).

  When you connect to folders shared of these 'problem' to 'good' machines machines using \\machinename\folder or even \\machine_ip\folder, the error window "the network location cannot be reached" appears.

  'Problem' machines can do desktop connection remote for the machines 'good '.

  All machines have the parameters: -.

  Same workgroup

  Same domain - private network

  Network discovery on

  File sharing on

  Public folder sharing

  Password protected sharing

  I am not able to find a solution on the web site and microsoft.

  Re-install Vista on 1 machine of 'problem' and the problem goes away.

  The problem with reinstalling is subject to re-registration of certain software licenses which has no registration online (through applications for certificates).
  Is there a resolution without having to re - install Vista?

• Shared folders / printer is no longer available

  I replaced my WRT54G V5 with an E3000 router default.  I installed using a cable (wireless) Dell desktop (Windows XP SP3) and it works.  I've changed the SSID and password which was used w / the WRT54G V5 and my HP desktop computer (Windows XP SP3) wireless and wired HP laptop (Windows 7) can both can access the Internet.

  Problem is that shared folders on all systems, and a shared printer on the desktop HP wireless are more accessible.  They worked with the WRT54G.  How can I make them work on the E3000?

  It may seem that the trusted computers.  Click the Norton or MacAfee and look through the various settings.  You will eventually find it.
