    Posted Dec 28, 2008 08:16 PM

    I did a porting of a virtual appliance

    I can't share xp folders from mac os

    I share mac os folders from xp, infact I changed path in .vmx files as you can see

    sharedFolder0.present = "TRUE"

    sharedFolder0.enabled = "TRUE"

    sharedFolder0.readAccess = "TRUE"

    sharedFolder0.writeAccess = "TRUE"

    sharedFolder0.hostPath = "/Users/macos/Desktop"

    sharedFolder0.guestName = "Desktop"

    sharedFolder0.expiration = "never"

    sharedFolder0.shareTags = "auto,desktop"

    But I have problem to manage xp folders from mac os finder

    Thanks

    If you're trying to access a resource on the Virtual Machine from the Host or any other computer then you have to appropriately share the resource on the Guest and then access it just as you would if it was any other physical computer on the Network.

    Both the OS X Help Files and the Windows Help Files cover this. Obviously the Guest's Network must be appropriately set and connected in order to access a Share on the Guest from the Host or other computer on the Network.
