Sharing Files between VM and Host OS

Sharing Files between VM and Host OS

1

I am trying to share files (about a 1GB of data) between my work computer and a VMWare guest OS on the same physical machine. The guest, as loaded from a snapshot, is by default in its own workgroup. The host is connected to the company domain network. I am afraid if I leave the workgroup/domain with either computer, I will screw something up. Both machines are running Windows 7 Enterprise.

How can I transfer the files to my VM?

Have you installed VMware tools? http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1035392

Also, possible dup: http://superuser.com/questions/206335/how-can-i-share-the-folder-var-www-on-my-emulated-ubuntu-virtual-machine-with-th. I would take a look there for a solution as well.

define network interface as on the VM to NAT this way you can access and define the VM just like you have another station in the network ,side by side.
