Hi, all.

I'm using Labs Plan9 with VMware (Workstation Player 12 version).
All works fine.

Is it possible to mount (or see in whatever else mode) a shared VMware
folder ?
Currently I send files from Plan9/VMware to a remote Win7 box using cifs. I would like to store directly on the local box.

Could someone kindly give me some suggestions ?

Thank you in advance

adriano
