Solve the problem: realize free copying and pasting between Linux and Windows on the virtual machine VMware . It is as convenient as ctrl+c and ctrl+v under the same system . Solved the tedious problem that can only be copied by U disk .
System environment: ubuntu (linux) system running on virtual machine VMware, win7 system.
Solution: Just install a vmware-tools tool in ubuntu.
1. Open the menu "VM" of the virtual machine, and there will be an installation option of Install vmware tools in the drop- down box .
After clicking, the VMwareTools...tar.gz file will appear under the ubuntu desktop. Path (/media/VMware Tools)
2. Copy this file to the /tmp file for decompression
cp VMwareTools...gz /tmp
cd /tmp
tar -xzvf VMwareTools...gz
3. This is the unzipped directory that will appear. ( vmware-tools-distrib directory). Then execute the compile operation
cd VMwareTools...
./vmware-install.pl
Start the installation and just press Enter all the way. . .
If it fails to compile, the permissions may not be sufficient. You can sudo ./vmware-install.pl . If there is an error of "...fatal error: Linux/smp_lock.h does not have that file or directory, and the compilation is interrupted...." , ignore it and just press Enter all the way.
4. The installation is successful
Enjoy,

5. Just restart the ubuntu system. reboot
