Shared folder not showing up in /mnt/hgfs on ubuntu 18.04 LTS as guest and windows 10 Pro as host OS
I am using these below versions
- VMWare Workstation 15 Player
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS as guest os
- Windows 10 Pro as Host os
- vmware-tools-cmd version (10.3.0.5330 (build-8931395))
I have created the shared folder in VMWare options in GUI.
Powered on my Ubuntu Guest. But there was not hgfs under /mnt.
So I used the command below
sudo mount -t fuse.vmhgfs-fuse .host:/ /mnt/hgfs
after this my shared folder appeared under /mnt/hgfs but can't cd into my shared folder.
I restarted the VM. But now I can't find my shared folder under /mnt/hgfs.
Can anybody please provide complete steps how to debug this issue and a solution for this?
