How can I share guest OS files / folders and access them on Host machine?
Host = Windows 10 Enterprise
Guest = Windows XP.
I tried numerous guides online but nothing worked. Both machines can ping each other.
Can any one point me to any article or tool to achieve this task?
Simply set up a network share on the guest machine (right-click a folder in Windows Explorer and choose "Sharing"). You may need to adjust the guest machine's firewall settings.

I'm confused about this problem for a long time.
I have a VMware ESXi which has the management IP 172.31.49.30, there're 4 windows 10 OS virtual machines on it.
I can access the ESXi with IE Explorer from my local win 10 machine. How can I copy and paste a file from my local machine to the virtual machine on ESXi? Any simple method? Thanks.
My current solution is a little complex. I save the file as Disc Image File (.iso) on my local PC, access the ESXi with IE, then upload the file to the ESXi. Enter the Win 10 VM and then select the disc image.
There's nothing wrong with the way you're doing it currently. That ISO is mounted as a standard CD/DVD on the local VM's OS.
Alternatively, you could find out what the local VM's IP address is and connect to the hard drive via SMB from your local physical system. Example: Windows would connect to \\x.x.x.x\c$ or Linux/Mac smb://x.x.x.x/c$
add second Ip in your host windows 10 in the same range of your vms, and you should see it by smb like Kyle Ruddy said
I want to access the virtual machine IP in the host (by ping or curl or something), but it is not ok. How could I make it?
The host machine is a win10 PC.
A virtual machine using VMware workstation 15, Ubuntu 16.04 server. It has IP address 192.168.178.138 and 10.0.0.11. I can access the 192.168.178.138, but cannot access 10.0.0.11. (no matter ping or curl...)
All are NAT mode in VMware Workstation.
Now I have a web application running on 10.0.0.11:80. How could I access it in my host machine.
Btw I have another VM with 192.168.178.39 and 10.0.0.31, and this VM can access the 10.0.0.11:80 by curl.
I can show the topo as below.
(A little Chinese but it won't affect reading, just ignore it)
Yes, now I solve this question by myself.
It seems that you cannot use the Host-only mode (Actually I can only use this mode...).
You need to set the virtual interface in your host PC (The IP, gateway, or anything else...);
Then you need to set in the VMWare workstation, set it to use speical lan (VM net 2 for me);
Then you can access it from the host machine and other vm, maybe you need to search something like NAT translation in VMWare workstation to access your web application deployed in the VM from outer network.
That's what I do, now I can access my horizon dashboard in the browser (The Ubuntu server don't have any browser... T-T sad ...)

I have installed Virtual Machine in my windows and inside VM, added Ubuntu.
So I need to copy a file from my windows machine to VM Ubuntu.
How can i do it?
If you have sshd enables on your Ubuntu guest and host and guest are able to communicate via LAN with each other, you could use the scp to copy files. On your windows host you can use WinSCP.
There are many methods to do it: (i recommend Method 3)
Method 1:
Mount a shared folder that's on the Windows host onto Ubuntu. That way you don't even need to copy them.
Go to Virtual Machine » Virtual Machine Settings » Shared Folders.
Method 2
The easiest way to do is to install the VMware Tools in Ubuntu, then you are able to drag the file into the Ubuntu VM.
To install VMware Tools, you need to switch to Ubuntu, then go to the VMware menu VM » Install VMware Tools, and then follow the instructions to finish the installation.
Method 3
Login to your linux machine (ubuntu) in vmware.
Click on "Places" and go to "Network" .
Go inside "Windows Network" and go deeper and you will find "user" and then "Public" .
This folder is nothing but your windows "Public" folder.
You can use this folder as a shared folder between host and guest machine.

So my PC is in a domain, but my virtual machine does not see it. I give the credentials in the Log in screen and I get this in the guest OS:
My host OS is Windows 7 and my guest OS is Windows XP and I use Oracle VirtualBox.
Thanks for the help.
Have you correctly linked all the virtual adapters?
If you can't ping the domain controller server, you should check your (virtual) cables.
Also, try to add the pc to a domain in the control panel.
I have been trying to setup a Win7 VM on Hyper-v that connects to the internet through my Win 8 host machine.
I can't seem to figure out why the VM can't ever get passed limited connectivity. Any ideas?
NO sure why but all I had to do was Disable/enable the vEthernet adapter and everything worked great!
Check that you have a Virtual Switch with an "External Network" using the Virtual Switch Manager.
The other network types offer VM isolation. If your VM is on an "Private Network" it can only talk to other VMs on the server. The "Internal Network" allows VMs can talk to other VMs and to the host.
In contrast, an External Network allows the VM to contact machines on the network that the host is attached to.
I worked on this issue for a while myself after upgrading to Windows 8.1 and losing connectivity. Added and removed the adapter to no avail. The solution was to upgrade the VM's Integration Services.
I had the same issue because my DHCP settings on my guest VM was setup wrong.
So check the DHCP setting if they are on obtain automatically.

Network adapter properties -> Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) -> Properties ->

I have had great success with Hyper-V and windows 8 and windows 10 virtuals using external switches with a Windows 8.1 host. Unfortunately I could not get the external switch to ever work on windows xp virtual running under Hyper-V. Instead, after reading a lot of sites/suggestions, I followed this guide to bridge an internal virtual switch (with Hyper-V legacy network adapter for XP) to the host wifi. I hope this saves someone else some time when working on an XP virtual.
