Then when saving data from the device point it to the symbolic link on C:
While I haven't tested with a VMware Shared Folder however my suggestion as a workaround would be try using mklink in an Administrator: Command Prompt to create a directory symbolic link on C: to the VMware Shared Folder.
If I copy a file from the NAS to C: (to an area that requires Admin approval), the NAS share also shows up. Firewall and anti virus both are turn off and Turn on file sharing also has been turn on. but if I check on 1.5 with net share, there are Shared Folder in net shared list. Here's what the application sees after I do the file copy:Īs can be seen, the true SMB implementation doesn't even show up. I can ping the server but I cant access the shared folder with error: 'Windows Cannot access 192.168.1.5Shared'. Here's what one of the applications sees before I do the file copy: I can access the shared folders from Windows Explorer. Ive never had this problem with the XP VM. The next time I went to use it, the applications cant access the shared folders. Enter the vMAC created in the OVHcloud Manager into the 'MAC Address' field. Then, select the drop-down next to 'Network Adapter 1' and change the 'MAC Address' field to Manual. In ESXi, right-click your VM and select the Edit settings option from the drop-down menu.
#CANT ACCESS NETWORK SHARE IN WINDOWS VM ON MAC SOFTWARE#
Further, sharing files over the network from the Mac opens up some potential security vulnerabilities (albeit minor) than using shared folders which only share with the VM. I recently set up the Windows 7 VM, installed the watch software and the first time I used the software it worked. To complete this step, your VM must be powered off. In fact, on the Windows side, the shared folders are just a network share. "Industry Standard" SMB has exactly the same problem. I personally do not use the VMware Shared Folders feature, just to many issues from the beginning and even thought improved over the years I prefer using Industry Standard Methods instead e.g SMB/CIFS, etc. Windows XP VM - Hardware Version 7 (this VM was originally used with Fusion 3 and I'm reluctant to upgrade) You will see the shared folder with the name you chose in the steps above. * File Open and File Save dialogs do not include Z: To mount the shared folder in VMware, turn on the virtual machine, open the File Explorer, and click on the Network option on the left panel. Clearly, copying the file changes the state of something which the windows applications are depending on. I also found that if I copy just one file (doesn't matter what file) from a shared folder to the C: drive and then start either application, they are able to access the shared folders. I've never had this problem with the XP VM. The next time I went to use it, the applications can't access the shared folders*. I recently set up the Windows 7 VM, installed the watch software and the first time I used the software it worked. I have been using a Windows XP VM for some time without problems but want to Windows 7 as XP will be out of support soon. The main reason I run the VMs is because I have a couple of dive watches that only have (old) Windows software for downloading their data.
