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-3g for debian

Any ideas ?

note: open-vm-tools is impossible either as I want to install it without being connected ton the www.[1]

Thanks.
