Hi,
I have a fresh debian VM under VMware W0rkstation.
I was wondering how can I pass data between the host (Windows :/ and the VM) with the VM being fully offline is it possible ?
Tested and not working:
- host sharing a network drive (SMB) not possible as debian will require the install of
cifs-utils - create a virtualized NTFS drive. not possible need
ntfs-3gfor debian
Any ideas ?
note:
open-vm-tools is impossible either as I want to install it without being connected ton the www.[1]
Thanks.

Remove the closed source VMWare and Install the open source Virtualbox ?
The two aren’t even in the same league. I’m a big open source advocate don’t get me wrong, but VirtualBox is horrible to use and its not what OP asked.
If you’re not trying to create complex virtual networks, or have hardware accelerated graphics, VirtualBox can be a bit unintuitive, but has all of the features that VMWare makes you pay for, available for free.
Or just use virtmanager + libvirt
