安装vmware-tools就能实现文件共享
1.在虚拟机种加载linux.iso文件。Settings-Hardware-CD/DVD(IDE)-Use iso image file中加入linux.iso文件。PS：这个文件可以在VMware的安装目录下找到：\Program Files\VMware\VMware Workstation\linux.iso
2.启动虚拟机 进入/mnt/cdrom目录
cd /mnt/cdrom
3．到cdrom目录里面解压VMware－tools*.tar.gz 到tmp
cp VMware－tools*.tar.gz /tmp
cd /tmp
tar xzvf VMware－tools*.tar.gz
cd vmware－tools-distrib
在目录里面是不是看到了一个vmware-install.pl
OK！
4.运行./vmware-install.pl
5.VMware-tools已安装成功了
cd /mnt
是不是看到了一个hgfs目录，这就表明安装成功了，下面就要讲一下怎么来设置共享了，这一部分更简单。
记得上面在VM菜单里进行操作了吗？对！下面接着要在VM菜单里进行，选择setting子项，再选择Options。在窗体的左半部分是不是看到了Shared Folders这么一项，如果你以前没有设置过，应该是Disabled。
选择always enable，选择Add，选择要和客户Linux进行共享的目录。
目前已完成了所有的工作了，在/mnt/hgfs下你会看到添加的目录。在windows下向指定的share folders写文件，在Linux客户机里面就能够看到，同样在Linux上写文件在视窗系统下也能够看到，并且能修改。
PS：事情总是没有你想象的顺利，在执行第四步的过程中，我遇到了 What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running的问题。
问题描述：运行./vmware-install.pl后，一直按enter键就ok了，当出现下面这个提示后，你就要小心了.
Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you need to configure it by
invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl". Do you want
this program to invoke the command for you now? [yes]
Before you can compile modules, you need to have the following installed...
make
gcc
kernel headers of the running kernel
上面提示的意思安装vmware tools必须先安装gcc 和内核头文件。
Searching for GCC...
Detected GCC binary at "/usr/bin/gcc".
The path "/usr/bin/gcc" appears to be a valid path to the gcc binary.
Would you like to change it? [no]
问题来了：它找不到我的内核头文件的路径
Searching for a valid kernel header path...
The path "" is not valid.
Would you like to change it? [yes]
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel?
提示我要输入内核头文件的路径
会出现这种问题有两种情况：
一种是你没有安装内核头文件，那就要先安装kervel-deve，在网上也有这方面的资料：
另外一种情况是vmware的问题，其实kernel header已经安装了，只是没有正确的被识别到
解决办法如下：
1.运行cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux"
如果没有提示错误信息，
2.做两个软连接就行了，具体方法是运行下面两条命令
ln -s ../generated/autoconf.h
ln -s ../generated/utsrelease.h
这两条命令给vmwaretools关联了正确的内核头文件的位置
3.再次执行./vmware-install.pl后，如下所示 ：vmware已经可以找到了合法的内核头文件路径，接下来就是继续按enter键了。
Searching for a valid kernel header path...
Detected the kernel headers of the running kernel at
"/lib/modules/2.6.35-24-generic/build/include".
The path "/lib/modules/2.6.35-24-generic/build/include" appears to be a valid
path to the kernel headers of the running kernel.
Would you like to change it? [no]
4.最后，如下提示，则表示vmware-tools安装成功了！
Creating a new initrd boot image for the kernel.

The configuration of VMware Tools 8.1.3 build-203739 for Linux for this running
kernel completed successfully.
You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take
effect.
You can now run VMware Tools by invoking the following command:
"/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" during an X server session.
To enable advanced X features (e.g., guest resolution fit, drag and drop, and
file and text copy/paste), you will need to do one (or more) of the following:
1. Manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user
2. Log out and log back into your desktop session; and,
3. Restart your X session.
Enjoy,
