Shared folder does not appear in guest CentOS (Windows host)

I've been trying to share a folder between my guest, Cent OS, and host, Windows 10, using VMWare Workstation 14 Player. The easiest way, drag&dropping files from host to guest, does not work properly, as one or more files always ends up being of a smaller file size and thus corrupted, even though there is enough storage space in the virtual machine.

 

 

Then I have done the steps below to enable folder sharing from the host to the guest OS:

**HOST WINDOWS 10**

- Shared the folder with everyone (to assure that there is no permit limitations with my files)

 

**GUEST CENT OS**

- VM -> Settings -> Options -> Shared Folders. And added my folder.

- I've run vmware-config-tools.pl multiple times, e.g.:

    `sudo vmware-config-tools.pl -d --clobber-kernel-modules=vmhgfs`

 

..but **the `/mnt/hgfs` folder, where my shared folder was meant to appear, remains empty!**

 

I am still not sure the VMware tools are installed completely, since typing `vmware-hgsclient` in the guest OS terminal returns the error "command not found".

 

Any suggestions? Thanks!
