1. Purpose of the experiment
Become proficient in two methods of Linux file sharing (shared folders). One is to map the shared folder of the virtual machine ubuntu under /mnt/hgfs to the physical machine, and the other is to connect the shared folder of the virtual machine ubuntu through the mapped network drive of the physical machine.
2. Experimental environment
Tool software: VMware
Experiment preparation: physical machine Windows 10, virtual machine ubuntu 14.04.6
3. Experimental content (experimental steps, test data, etc.)
Install VMtools in the virtual machine ubuntu 14.04.6:
VMtools installed successfully
Linux file sharing (shared folder) method one:
In the virtual machine settings, click Options, Shared Folders, set it to always enable in Folder Sharing , add the name and host path in the folder
The name is the name of the self-set shared folder, and the host path is the path of the shared folder on the physical machine
The name I set is ubuntu_share, and the host path is E:\ubuntu_share
promote free
ctrl+alt+T to open the terminal, enter: sudo -i, enter the password, enter root mode
输入：apt-get install open -vm -tools
If there is no hgfs folder under /mnt, you need to create it manually. Type: mkdir /mnt/hgfs
Enter: vmhgfs-fuse.host://mnt/hgfs
Enter: ls /mnt, check if the hgfs folder exists
Enter: cd /mnt/hgfs, enter the hgfs folder
Enter: ls to see if there is a shared folder in hgfs
There is a shared folder, created successfully
Next, verify whether the file is shared successfully by creating the file in the physical machine and then observing whether the file exists in the virtual machine
Go back to the physical machine, enter the host path E:\ubuntu_share, and create a 11.txt text file
back to ubuntu
Enter: cd ubuntu_share, enter the shared folder
Enter: ls to view the files under the shared folder
11. The txt file exists and the file sharing is successful
Linux file sharing (shared folder) method two:
Enter in the cmd of Windows 10 on the physical machine: ipconfig to view the ip address
Enter in the terminal of the virtual machine ubuntu: ifconfig to view the ip address
Ping each other to ensure the network connectivity between the physical machine and ubuntu
create folder in ubuntu
Right-click in turn, properties, local network share, check share this directory and two allow, click create share
Go back to the physical machine, go to Network on the desktop or go to This PC on the desktop
Find the network, right-click and select Map Network Drive
If there is a prompt to enable network discovery, click OK, ignore it
Go to Map Network Drive
Enter: \\ubuntu\11, specify the network folder to connect
"ubuntu" is the name of the virtual machine, and "11" is the name of the shared folder just set in ubuntu
Click Finish to connect to ubuntu's shared folder by mapping a network drive 11
Next, verify whether the file is shared successfully by creating the file in the physical machine and then observing whether the file exists in the virtual machine
Create a 11.txt text file in the shared folder 11
Back to ubuntu, enter the shared folder 11
11. The txt file exists and the file sharing is successful
4. Experimental experience
Familiar with the two methods of linux file sharing (shared folder).
