When i create a new shared folder then power up my linux pc it doesn't show up in /mnt/

tried it a few times

isn't there a /dev ice that needs to be mounted to /mnt/hgsf ?

thanks

found the problem
it requires to have vmware tools installed to use that feature, however vmware requires X to be installed.

How can I setup FOLDER SHARE without having X

thanks
