Problem
How to view folders from the Mac that hosts the VMWare Fusion guest operating system CentOS or Red Hat Linux?
Solution
- First, make sure that the VMWare Tools are installed. That always helps.
- Next, in the WMWare configuration menu of the guest, set up the desired shared folders. There might be already a default shared folder pointing to the user’s home directory.
- Next, in the guest OS,
ls -ld /mnt/hgfswill display the available shared folders.
