Test Result:
Step-by-step from Enable the shared folder
uname -rvmhgfs-fuse /mnt/hgfs fuse defaults,allow_other 0 0Before you do that, you might want to check that things are setup correctly. Try running the following:
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/hgfs/
sudo /usr/bin/vmhgfs-fuse .host:/ /mnt/hgfs/ -o subtype=vmhgfs-fuse,allow_other
or
sudo /usr/bin/vmhgfs-fuse .host:/SharedFolderName /MountPoint -o subtype=vmhgfs-fuse,allow_other,nonempty
SharedFolderName: The name that is set in VMware (Option–>Shared Folder), e.g., projects
MountPoint: Mounting location assigned to the shared folder, e.g., opt/bitnami/projects

Mounting Shared Folders in a Linux Guest
Mount VMware Shares on Linux VM:
bitnami@debian:~$ cd /opt/bitnami
bitnami@debian:/opt/bitnami$ sudo mkdir PROJECTS
bitnami@debian:/opt/bitnami$ sudo chmod 777 PROJECTS
bitnami@debian:/opt/bitnami$ cd
bitnami@debian:~$ sudo mount -t fuse.vmhgfs-fuse -o allow_other .host:/VM_DJPROJECTS /opt/bitnami/PROJECTS
If error happen, using this command,
bitnami@debian:~$ sudo vmhgfs-fuse -o nonempty -o allow_other .host:/VM_DJPROJECTS /opt/bitnami/PROJECTS
*VM_DJPROJECTS is the shared folder name in Host computer (Windows).
PROJECTS is the shared folder in Guest computer (Linux Debian).
Automatically Mount VMware Shares:
If you want the VMware Linux VM to automatically mount the VMware share on boot,
you have to add a new line to the /etc/fstab file.
bitnami@debian:~$ cd /etc
bitnami@debian:/etc$ sudo chmod 777 fstab
bitnami@debian:/etc$ emacs fstab
Using chmod command to change file permission back to original.
bitnami@debian:/etc$ sudo chmod 644 fstab
Then, reboot.
bitnami@debian:/etc$ sudo reboot
VMware vs. Virtual Box: Comprehensive Comparison
Some conclusion:
- If you need a free virtualization solution for a desktop, you can select VirtualBox.
- If you need to have a free virtualization solution for running VMs on a server, select VirtualBox or VMware ESXi Free Edition.
- If you need an ultimate solution for desktop with extended 3D graphics support and a wide list of settings, select VMware Workstation (or VMware Fusion for Mac computers).
- If you need a free virtualization solution that only needs to run VMware VMs on desktop with basic options, you can select VMware Player.
- If you need maximum integration between a VMware desktop solution and a VMware vSphere (vCenter server, ESXi hosts), select VMware Workstation or VMware Fusion Pro. You can use VMware Workstation or Fusion Pro for connecting to vCenter Server or ESXi host remotely, and can manage virtual machines residing on these resources. VMware provides a free VMware vCenter Converter for converting VMs of the Workstation format to VMs of the ESXi format (and vice versa).
- If you have an old computer with a processor that does not support hardware virtualization technologies, select VirtualBox, which provides software virtualization.
- If you need the ultimate enterprise-grade solution for deploying multiple servers, running a high number of VMs, using clustering features, etc., select VMware vSphere based on ESXi servers with vCenter.
