Sharing folders hidden in VMware Fusion

• How to activate the shared folders in the VMware tools

  I'm running a Windows 2003 Server EE guest x 64 OS in a virtual machine hosted by ESXi 3.5 u4 build 199239. VMware tools have been updated to the latest version for this build ESX.  In the VMware Tools Properties GUI the shared folders tab says "shared folders are currently disabled on the host computer.  Please see VMware documentation to find out how to activate it. "I searched all the VMware Documentation and have not found the answer to this question.

  Also, when folders are enabled it is my understanding that an addition is made to the guest OS network providers.  What is the impact of the network provider of shared folders moving further towards the bottom of the list of purchase orders (network connections, advanced, advanced settings, purchase order).

  As far as I KNOW, this is not possible if it running ESX (i)

  The shared folders functionality is not supported by the ESX Server or GSX server, but is enabled when you install VMware Tools with the complete option. The feature is not enabled when you install VMware Tools with the typical option in respect of these products.

• Access to a shared folder hard blocks VMWare Fusion (started happening recently)

  I have access to my Mac OS X desktop as a folder within my VM and have it run this way for years without problem. Sometimes in the past month, VMWare has started completely freeze/lock up when I try to open the desktop folder in Win7 or if I try to open a file from an application running in Windows. I get no error message, just a Beachball Of Death, and VMWare will eventually (or not) report that Windows crashed and offer to reboot. Sometimes I have to force quit (and kill several VMWare process) until I can restart.

  If I restart in Mode safe, I can open/read/write files very well. I can also 'mirror' of my office (instead of share) and it works very well in this way, too, but this approach is not practical as I have so more can see my normal within Windows desktop, as it is replaced by all the files from my Mac desktop,

  I couldn't find all the online articles that were useful for the resolution of this problem, and it's impacting on my ability to do my job.

  Again, this has been working fine until recently. As El Capitan has been recently updated and VWWare Fusion has been recently updated Windows gets patches every week, I'm not sure which, if any, of those that could have caused the problem.

  Suggestions welcome.

  Here is my configuration:

  MBP 15 retina, mid 2015 running OS X 10.11.5

  16 GB of RAM (8GB assigned to Windows)

  500 GB SSD 120 GB assigned to Windows

  Win7 Pro 64-bit

  VMWare 8.1.1 (3771013)

  I tried re('repair') VMware Tools installation, but do not uninstall first. Just did the full cycle of uninstall/install and it is always difficult pop-up Windows (no BSD, just freezes and VWware with it). Process of the merger of VMware and vmware-vmx to hang (as shown in activity monitor).

  This is * only * happening if I share my desktop Mac computer. If I share any file, it works fine. Yet once, it only started recently.

  UPDATE

  Playing a hunch, I removed an alias (which points to a file on a network drive) in my office that I created recently (I had other aliases on my desk for several months, but none of them did for the network drives), and it now seems to work very well. What's weird is that I initially put crime aliases in a subfolder Desktop and VMware has worked well until I drove my cursor arrow on the subfolder (do not click to open it), when it crashed again. I put the back on my desktop and the "boom" alias, crashed almost immediately, which seems to confirm that the alias is the problem.

  Windows does make a kind of prediction "read-ahead" as you move your cursor and hovering over the records?

  In any case, the trigger seems to be an alias that points to a network drive, that hard to block Windows / VMware.

• Fusion 5 / win 8 - shared folders

  I upgraded from Fusion 2 to 5 on a MacBook Pro which has Win XP SP3. Downloaded and installed the Win 8 upgrade package. Changed the Windows 8 operating system, but could not access the Internet. Thanks to a post of WoodyZ I had that solved this morning by adding a line in the .vmx file.

  Another problem I have to solve is that with this combination of VM/Win8, I do not see the shared folders on my Mac that I used to be able to do with the old configuration. Suggestions as to what is needed to make these records appear when I bring to the top of the file Windows Explorer?

  Take a look at: .host alias of folder shared in My Network Places inaccessible or unavailable (1014036) & troubleshooting access to shared folders and mirrored in Fusion and workstation (1027646)

• Trackpad, mouse, shared folders not visible under DOS.

  (1) how the VM to see my trackpad and mouse? I don't see the options for this device to virtual machine settings.

  (2) BACK is not to see a folder shared that I specified. How to import files in the virtual C: drive without it? (not everything is on diskettes that can be converted into images of floppy disks, in fact most of the files are not)

  1. install the mouse driver in the BACK machine.  See the page of Zamba of good tips for creating virtual machines in BACK.  http://www.scampers.org/Steve/VMware/

  2. because the shared folders feature requires VMware tools to install; and since there is no BACK VMware Tools package, you can not do this.  Follow the tips on the page links above to set the standard Windows file sharing (LAN) / Samba.

• Cannot create folders shared with VMware Fusion Pro 8

  Just updated to VMware Fusion Pro 8 and having problems of shared folders. Although the Win 7 Pro system is the area of our society, he is unable to see other computers (apart from himself) on the network. I am also unable to share folders the with the Mac OS. I followed the instructions a few times below and failed to make it work:

  Windows

  To configure a shared folder in a Windows virtual machine:

  1 launch VMware Fusion.

  2. turn on the virtual machine.

  3 click on Virtual Machine > settings.

  4. click on sharing.

  5 in Fusion 7.x, select enable shared folders. Molten 6.x, 5.x, 4.x turn files option ON the Shared. In Fusion 3.x, select shared folders on your Mac option.

  6. click on the button +.

  7 navigate to the folder on the Mac which will be shared with the virtual machine and click Add.

  Shared folders are accessible via the shared folders shortcut on the Windows desktop or the network Z: drive VMware.

  Does anyone know how to fix this?

  Thank you!

  Looks like it was too easy to install "VMware Tools". Seems to work now.

• Shared folders in VMWare Fusion 2 - How do you see their VM?

  I have shared folders enabled in the settings of the virtual machine - I used to have a shortcut to folder on my desktop virtual to a shared folder, but when I upgraded to VWare fusion 2 (starting from 1) the broken link, and I can not locate where the shared folders are mounted in my Vista VM now.

  Where do I go to 'find' my shared folders in my VM?

  Thank you - I do not know why it isn't painfully obvious in the documentation.

  When you upgraded to Fusion 2, you updated of the tools in the comments? Have you tried to uninstall tools, by restarting the guest and installing the tools? Have you checked that a HGFS folder is always set up?

• VMware Security Advisory VMSA-2016-0001 on "shared folders".

  SO, I just received this notice of VMware in my Inbox, and I don't understand how this is related to the ESXi.   I am aware of the shared folders when you are working in fusion and workstation VM, I did, but since when is that a feature in ESXi?  If it is there, his escape me all these years of work with the products of basic infrastructure...

  Can someone please shed some light on how this VMs Advisory effects running on ESXi and how to use this shared functionality issues with virtual machines running on ESXi.

  I do not see the specific newsletter you would need to have installed the toolbar of the virtual machine full version, but still, have not heard of this with ESXi and vCenter... and I can not find instructions on how to configure it with the virtual machines running on ESXi.

  Hello

  This seems to be a problem with VMware Tools which contains the driver HGFS. Even if it does not work on ESXi, if the virtual machine is migrated to a non-ESXi system and HGFS is enabled then HGFS would have the problem. ESXi has other controls does not affect the fact that HGFS has a problem. It's one of the reasons that the Hardening Guide said to turn it off in any case.

• Bug report: strange behavior with sharing folders Mac & PHP require (8 VMware)

  I'm using VMware Fusion 8.0.0 (2985594) on Mac OS Yosemite (10.10.5 (14F27)) and I have a Linux VM with Debian Wheezy (3.2.0 - 4-amd64) and PHP (5.4.41 - 0 + deb7u1).

  After I've upgraded from VMware Fusion 7 WMware Fusion 8, the (open source CMS) Typo3 on my development machine began to throw PHP syntax errors during playback of its cache files. As I investigated the problem I found that the behavior is reproducible, but only when the files are written to the folder that is shared between the host system and the VM.

  When I'm demanding a PHP a certain file size and a certain name of file, PHP seems to continue reading about the end of the file in the middle of the arbitrariness of other files. This leads mainly to errors in syntax PHP - but according to the name of the file that they differ, for example:

  PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '' in require284.php on line 93
  PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '' in require107.php on line 88
  ^[[APHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected 'p' in require472.php on line 88
  PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected end of file in require884.php on line 88
  PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected 'u' in require185.php on line 89
  

  All of these errors are generated by requiring the same content with different file names. If I am demanding the same file with the same name, the PHP error is also the same.

  Steps to reproduce

  I wrote a PHP script that seeks a different file names for a given text, until it crashes. Store this file in the shared folder and run it with php f. As you can see, all the content of the file is commented out, so it shouldn't affect anything.

  <?php
  $content = <<<'EOT'

       // write the content to $filename

  I wrote another script to generate the build the combination of text and name of the file that is causing the problem:

  <?php
  
  // the decimal ASCII code of all upper and lower case chars
  $ascii_alpha_chars= array_merge(range(65, 90), range(97, 122));
  
  // how many tries
  $count = 500;
  
  $out= '';
  for($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
       // generate a random number of files
       $lines = rand(70, 90);
       $out ='';
       for($j = 0; $j < $lines; $j++) {
            // ...and a random number of chars on each line
            $rand = rand(30, 70);
            $out .= get_random_chars($rand) . "\n";
       }
       write_and_require($out);
  //     echo "$i\n";
  }
  
  function write_and_require($out) {
       // write the content to a file, require it, and delete it
       $sourceCode= "<?php\n/*n$out\n*/\n";
       for($i = 0; $i < 50; $i++) {
            $rnd = rand(0, 1000);
            $filename = 'require' . $rnd . '.php';
  //          echo "$filename\n";
            file_put_contents($filename, $sourceCode);
            require_once($filename);
            unlink($filename);
       }
  }
  
  function get_random_chars($n) {
       global $ascii_alpha_chars;
       $out = '';
       for($i = 0; $i < $n; $i++) {
            // add a random char
            $out .= chr($ascii_alpha_chars[array_rand($ascii_alpha_chars)]);
       }
       return $out;
  }
  

  This problem occurs only for the upgrade of VMware 8 and only when the script runs in the shared folders, I strongly suspect that it is a problem within the VMware stack.

  Can anyone elso reproduce this behavior?

  Hello

  If you use the kernel of an open-vm-tools HGFS customer then yes there are bugs because the version provided with that was broken and not tested. People has not listened to my complaints about it.

  Current recommended approach is to always use the installation of VMware tools for the shared folders feature.

  Open-vm-tools are used to install tools user mode only. We try to make all of the features available with these, including a file sharing client FUSE based. Version 10 of the open-vm-tools will have this.

  Stick with VMware tools install for now for file sharing.

  Thanks for your great art information and debugging this issue.

  The VMWare Tools included with fusion 7.0.1 solved this problem for me (and without any serious regressions I noticed so far, at least, which is nice but not something I intend on with vmware), so probably the next update of each VMware product should include the updated tools.  Don't know how long updates to other products are coming, however.  Wonder if there is a separate place to get just the tools to day?

• Ubuntu LTS 14.04 will not install VMWare Tools ability to shared folders

  Get the following error when trying to install VMWare Tools within a host running Ubuntu LTS 14.04.  I tried to open a ticket in the VMWare system and got an error (lose faith in Vmware here as an ESXi + client Fusion...)
  

  
  

  
  

  Looks like Vmware must update VMware tools for Ubuntu 14.04 kernel headers?

  Seems to work fine with the tools in the recent update to VMware Fusion 6.0.3:

  http://www.VMware.com/go/downloadfusion

  Certainly the tools should be updated in order to support a view recent guests of Ubuntu Unity (disabled, sofar, also with 6.0.3 + 14.04): maybe in Fusion 6.1, who knows...

• Risk of a Windows XP Professional.vmwarevm vmware fusion on a shared disk storage

  I am running VMware fusion on a MacBook Pro.  I have an image of Windows XP SP3.

  What are the risks of store this image on a shared drive or a shared backup device (for example, Apple Time Capsule)?

  Can someone ' find one/view the files stored in the Image of XP?

  Are there other risks of privacy / security?

  Thank you

  All the XP files in multiple files .vdmk in the bundle can be easily consulted are

  Eric has already answered the second part of your question so I'll answer the first part.  While they are not as easily seen as just see hard files exist, as to see in the Finder for example, nevertheless he who has access can also, with the right tools, see the contents of files hard otherwise encrypted.  In other words, hard files can be mounted with a ctrl-click > open with... > VMDKMounter.  There are other programs that can open and view the content without a ride just like opening a .zip file in BetterZip.

  Most is, with the exception being encrypted and one without knowing the password, then anyone who has knowledge and access can see what they want.

  Which bring back me to my original statement: "the risks are the same as with all other files/folders, you choose to store here where.

• Is it me? Fusion on Snow Leopard, Ubuntu 10.10: no network, none of the shared folders.

  On my Macbook, I use VMWare Fusion course and installed Ubuntu 10.10, which worked pretty well. I'm not an expert in everything, I use Ubuntu only for very limited use and do not plan to make my standard OS, but in this case, I have no choice. For this work, I need to share files, copy and paste text and use the network.

  But from the beginning, I have these problems:

  #1: whenever I send the virtual machine to sleep and wake up more later he acknowledges no more network connection.

  #2: I share a folder on my Mac OS but I can't see them in Ubuntu. To be exact, I can only see the public folders from Mac users, but not those that I added.

  #3: copy / paste between Mac and Ubuntu does not work.

  Then I looked through the menu and found that VMWare Tools are not installed, then I started the installation via the menu. The only result is that a CD of VMWare tools is downloaded and installed - and then nothing happens. There is a text "manifest.txt" file that contains version information and an archive that contains a Setup program. If I double-click on that one I am wondering with what application I want to open it. Very funny... I don't know how to use it.

  Any suggestions for a beginner?

  In the VmWare Fusion menu, I choose the folders that are on Mac and decide if he is reading only or read and write.

  Looks like you use folders shared HGFS and involved getting up from different Windows and Linux handle this. In Linux, look under/mnt/hgfs to find the HGFS folder shared.

  I just changed one in Mac OS shared, everyone is allowed to read and write. Now I can see the content from Ubuntu. But I certainly don't want to share with all the members of my network. This folder is NOT in the list of folders that are common between Mac and Ubuntu, it is shared over the network, but not through VMWare.

  OS X folders behave differently from HGFS shared - folders they use different protocols and transport mechanisms.
