How to view files from host? (running inside VMWare Fusion)

  • 772

I have just finished moving my development server into a Ubuntu 10.04 Server VM in VMWare Fusion 3. I have all of my mysql and tomcat stuff running and am now trying to connect to my actual site files which are stored on my mac under /{User Root}/Workspace/ColdFusion/.

I know that normally you should be able to setup a shared folder in VMWare and find it under /mnt/hgfs/{Share Name}, but I can't find it. I am not sure if I have to manually mount it or what.

vmware

  1. This question and answer from prosseek might help you. The sshfs method seems a bit unorthodox to me, but I don't have vmware-fusion available to test any other way.
