command-line-interfacecopynetwork-sharevmware-workstation
I've been trying to access my shared folders from the command line in my virtual machine with no luck. I've stumbled across a couple of references to using net use to establish a virtual drive, but i can't get this to work correctly:
net use z: \\.host\y (where y is my shared folder)
net use z: \\.host\shared folders\y
Neither of these works. Any pointers?
Which shell are you using? If you are using bash you may need to enable "advanced" completions in bash...
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
. /etc/bash_completion
fi
In your ~/.bashrc
On OSX you can do:
$ sudo port install bash-completion
To your ~/.profile add:
if [ -f /opt/local/etc/bash_completion ]; then
. /opt/local/etc/bash_completion
fi

In place of ".host" have you tried its IP address instead? Also... Any chance that the VM was hosted on a different host at any point?
