[CentOS] Shared folders with Centos-7 guest in VMware-10 using open-vm-tools
Hi! Just wondering if anyone has this working ... Centos-7 guest in VMware-10 host (on Windows-7 :-( ) Out of the box, shared folders and drag&drop do not work although X screen resolution sensing is fine (ie xrandr reports the resolution of the host screen as well as the peculiar screen options built-in) and I can Alt-Enter to full screen quite happily. I tried Fedora-22 too but did not even get that far. It's the shared folder that I would really like to get working. vmware- hgfsclient reports my share but there is no /mnt/hgfs directory. Also 'lsmod|grep hgfs' reports nothing. 'systemctl restart vmtoolsd' (bah!) does not help. Thanks Bob

I reckon I'm sooooo close, just need a nudge to get it over the line!! Any ideas out there? Cheers Bob

So I tried Centos-6.7 and all is well after installing vmware-tools from the tarball provided by vmware - screen resolution, auto-sensing and shared folder. Centos-6.7 is fine for me and I'll be living there instead of the nightmare desktop provided by the employer. Cheers Bob
