Hi,<br>
Thanks for looking into it. I tried the steps, it seems there is no vboxsf<br>
available. This is the output:<br>
sudo usermod -aG vboxsf $USER<br>
usermod: group 'vboxsf' does not exist<br>
<br>
I must add that I installed VMware's tools with default values, in case<br>
they had to be changed.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Parham<br>

Hi Parham,<br>
<br>
I do apologise - I didn't read your e-mail properly and sent<br>
instructions for VirtualBox rather than VMWare. You can ignore the<br>
vboxsf stuff.<br>
<br>
Given you already installed the VMWare drivers, please try this:<br>
<br>
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic<br>
<br>
sudo <a href="http://vmware-config-tools.pl" target="_blank">vmware-config-tools.pl</a><br>
<br>
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/shared<br>
<br>
sudo mount -t vmhgfs .host:/ /mnt/shared<br>
<br>
ls /mnt/*<br>
<br>
Any joy? Or else what exact error messages do you get?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
TIM<br>
