Accessing host shared folder from Server Core guest

[Yann Vouters]

Hi,

Whilst I can access a host folder I've shared and mapped for all Windows Guest with GUIs, I can't seem to be able to get to it with Server Core guests.

Could anyone advise how to do it please ?

Thanks in advance ,

Server core has no GUI, and the VMware Tools don't install on it.  Don't rely on the VMware Shared Folder feature and just use plain old standard SAMBA/CIFS/network file sharing, built into Windows since 3.1 (and *NIX, etc. OS's).  It's reliable and secure.
