使用hgfs实现vmware文件传输

       使用hgfs实现vmware文件传输,不需要任何网络相关设置,这对于网络不通时进行vmware与host传输文件带来方便,不用u盘mount即可实现.

       host和ghost可以是linux和windows操作系统,这里只介绍host是windows,ghost是linux下的设置.若ghost是windows,可以参考vmware帮助中的setting up shared folders.

下面的介绍假定VMware,linux等已经安装:-)

1.下载一个VMwareTools包,如:VMwareTools-5.0.0-13124.i386.tar.gz

2.安装VMwareTools包

# tar xzfv VMwareTools-5.0.0-13124.i386.tar.gz

<output>

在当前目录下生成vmware-tools-distrib文件夹

# cd  vmware-tools-distrib

# ls

bin  doc  etc  FILES INSTALL  installer  lib  sbin  vmware-install.pl

# ./vmware-install.pl           <执行vmware的安装脚本,这个脚本是用perl编写的>

     安装程序会询问安装文件存放位置和设置分辨率等一系列问题,在大多数情况下,安装默认配置VMware tools就可以正常工作,因此,在此对每一个问题按回车键选择默认配置.输出信息类似如下:

3.安装完后,vmware会添加一个vmhgfs的模块到内核中,用lsmod查看如下:

[root@localhost /]# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Tainted: PF
vmhgfs                 41632   4
es1371                 30504   0  (autoclean)
ac97_codec             13544   0  (autoclean) [es1371]
gameport                3332   0  (autoclean) [es1371]
soundcore               6276   4  (autoclean) [es1371]
vfat                   12844   0  (autoclean)
fat                    38328   0  (autoclean) [vfat]
usb-storage            68628   0
ide-cd                 35196   0  (autoclean)

............

在/mnt目录下会生成hgfs目录

[root@localhost /]# cd /mnt/
[root@localhost mnt]# ls
cdrom  floppy  hgfs  myusb
[root@localhost mnt]#

4.设置host computer共享的目录

(1) 在ghost computer中(即VMware虚拟机)切换到windows桌面,选择VMware workstation程序菜单中VM---->settings---->Options---->shared folders---->properties

(2) 点击对话框右下的"Add"---->"下一步",在文本框"name"中输入共享目录的名字(即在ghost computer的linux系统中将显示出同样的目录名),假设为win2linux,在"host folder"中填入host computer 中windows系统想要共享出来的目录,假设为F:/win2linux,然后点击"完成".

  (注: F:/win2linux目录要手动建立,即在F盘下建一个新建文件夹,命名为win2linux) 

(3) 下一个对话框似选择共享的方式:Enable this share是指这个共享长期有效.目录可读写---->"完成",至此,shared folder设置完毕

5.共享目录设置完成后,在/mnt/hgfs/目录下有新生成的共享目录win2linux

[root@localhost /]# cd /mnt/
[root@localhost mnt]# ls
cdrom  floppy  hgfs  myusb
[root@localhost mnt]#

举例:

1.如:要将文件包make-3.81.tar.gz从windows拷贝到VM linux中,只需将make-3.81.tar.gz拷贝到windows的F:/win2linux目录下,则在limux的/mnt/hgfs/win2linux下就有该文件,可以直接用了.

[root@localhost win2linux]# ls

make-3.81.tar.gz

[root@localhost win2linux]# ls

2.将linux中的文件拷贝到windows中

只需将要拷贝的文件拷贝到/mnt/hgfs/win2linux目录下,在windows的F:/win2linux目录下即有该文件

[root@localhost mickey]# cp ./vmtool_install_print.txt     /mnt/hgfs/win2linux

[root@localhost mickey]#
