How to copy text from one vmware workstation to PC?

Use NET USE to map a folder on the guest machine from the host machines. The rules are identical to real machines and I do this a lot.

To make life easier on yourself, make sure your guest is set up for Bridged Networking - NAT is default and puts your guest on a different subnet.

If you need help with sharing folders, look through my article on folder sharing.

So long as VMware Tools are installed, you can "copy" from (say) guest and "paste" into (say) host. For copy and paste to work, Tools must be installed and the guest settings must allow copy/paste (Under Guest Isolation in Settings, Options).

Thank you so much for your fast reply. I did it based on the link:

After I installed the tool and restarted, I still cannot copy and past. Maybe something is wrong?

If Tools are installed, then in Guest Settings, Options, Guest Isolation and make sure copy/paste is enabled.

I just tried it and it works fine (as it always did) Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V or context right click "copy" right click "paste"

This is for copying text in files NOT for moving or copying files - Use a folder map for that.

I have not found where is "Guest Settings, Options ...." Where is it?

Great! Thank you
