Connect to shared folder on Windows VM


Setup

VMWare Windows Server 2012

My Laptop Windows 10

Question

How can I reach the 'test' folder on the VM from my Windows 10 machine WITHOUT remote desktop?

(I want to run a script that automatically copies files from my computer to the VM folder. So far I have done that by mapping the network folder to a drive Z:/ and then just copy the files because I cannot get SSH to work with a keyfile)


Solution

  • If you can successfully RDP to the system and hit the IIS service, I would have to assume you're hitting a firewall issue. You'll need to open up the firewall to allow for SMB traffic.
