The command will create the (smb) share as expected, and I can observe it via the backup machine. The command I found is: New-SmbShare -Path C:\Data\ -Name Data -ReadAccess "domain\BackupUser". I want to move the creation of these shared data folders into some script which we can run from Powershell. Therefore we only allow read access to the data folder by the backup machine (let's call the user on the backup machine domain\BackupUser). All the machines are part of a large network, and we don't want to share the data with all the machines. When a new machine arrives, we share the folder by hand using Explorer.

This software daily checks the contents of the data folders and backup the data to its local harddisks. These folders are shared with a "special" machine running backup software.

Some background: I've many Windows machines which have a folder (data folders) that needs to be backed up. I'm trying to share a folder to a specific machine/user using Powershell. Unfortunately that does not solve my problem either, the shared folder is still mounted in /mnt/hgfs/shared_folder Since I am a beginner with Ubuntu, maybe someone can point me to the solution of my problem. host:/shared_folder /shared_folder command to /etc/rc.local. So I thought I might get this to run by adding the vmhgfs-fuse. Unfortunately after this edit, my OS could not boot anymore and I had to remove that line.

host:/shared_folder /shared_folder vmhgfs defaults 0 0 to /etc/fstab as suggested in a lot of manuals and posts on shared folders, e.g. I have spent a lot of time trying to make this work (adding. Now I would like to to do that automatically during boot, instead of having to type this command everytime after boot. I also managed to manually mount the shared folder after boot to the desired location using vmhgfs-fuse. Mounting the shared folder to /mnt/hgfs/shared_folder at boot works perfectly (by setting the according option in the vmware player settings).

If that is not the case, start the service with: sudo systemctl start mnt-hgfs.mount or reboot.I want to have a shared folder at a specific location /shared_folder using vmware player with an Ubuntu 16.04 guest and Windows 8.1 host. The shared folders should appear in the directory /mnt/hgfs.In Workstation or Fusion, enable "Shared Folders" in "Virtual Machine Settings" > "Options", and set the folders to be shared. Make sure the 'fuse' module is loaded: sudo modprobe -v fuse This will make sure the hgfs fdirectory will be mounted after a reboot. Add to or create the file /etc/modules-load.d/nf with this content:Įnable the systemd service with the command: sudo systemctl enable mnt-hgfs.mount.Create the file /etc/systemd/system/mnt-hgfs.mount with this content:.Remove any extra files from the /mnt/hgfs/ directory (if no other shared folders, the command rm -rf /mnt/hgfs/* works and worked for me).Kernel version >= 3.10 (if open-vm-tools = 4.0).open-vm-tools version is at 10.0.0 or greater.I am still not sure the VMware tools are installed completely, since typing vmware-hgsclient in the guest OS terminal returns the error "command not found". I have gone through the VMware manual, and I am sure that I have followed their requirements. but the /mnt/hgfs folder, where my shared folder was meant to appear, remains empty! And added my folder.Īs per the suggestion of several posts on here, I've run multiple times, e.g.: VM -> Settings -> Options -> Shared Folders.Shared the folder with everyone (to assure that there is no permit limitations with my files).Then I have done the steps below to enable folder sharing from the host to the guest OS: The easiest way, drag&dropping files from host to guest, does not work properly, as one or more files always ends up being of a smaller file size and thus corrupted, even though there is enough storage space in the virtual machine. I've been trying to share a folder between my guest, Cent OS, and host, Windows 10, using VMWare Workstation 14 Player.
