Where are in Ubuntu VMWare shared folders?

[MIRKOSOFT]

Hi!

I’m user of Windows operating system. With Linux I have first experience on VMWare virtual machine.

I installed VMWare Tools and configured shared folders.

When I tried to find shared folders in Linux (64-bit Ubuntu) I was lost in large amount of folders. I found physical devices only CD-ROM and FDD.

I’m really newbie. So, really where to find in Ubuntu shared folders?

My VMWare is running on Windows 10.1607 Pro x64, shared folders are two partitions.

Here is also important Q: What a FS needs Ubuntu to work with? One partition is NTFS and 2nd is FAT16, I have no problem to reformat it also to FAT32 or exFAT

I tested also OSX and it works with NTFS correctly what is behavior only virtual machine 'cause OSX can read only exFAT in real computer.

Thank you for help.

I found some advices in VMWare documentation:
Default location is /mnt/hgfs
it can be made by command mount
to auto-mount shared folders is possible to add to file /etc/fstab one line:
.host:/ /mnt/hgfs vmhgfs defaults 0 0
Problem is that it is not possible to overwrite file/save to its location 'cause permissions.
So, I tried to mount them manually, used: mount -t vmhgfs .host:/ /home/mirkosoft/shares
but command produces syntax error and also when I use help there’s written different than in documentation…
So, I’m now at this point… can anybody help me?
