I need my guest Linux ops, to be able to direct to my shared parallels folders.

    When using the terminal in linux to change directory, it will not recognise the path to my 'shared parallels Folders'. Is it the way I have set up the initial partitioning in parallels to start with? Do I need to allow the guest system have a larger proportion for it to be able to direct and locate my Mac folders using gnome terminal? If so, what figure?

    Hi clareB,

    (Re)install Parallels Tools as suggested at http://kb.parallels.com/115835

    Open terminal and enter the following commands to view Mac folders in Linux:

    $cd /media/
    $ls
    $cd Host
    $ls

    "Go through user folder to browse your desired Mac folders"

    (OR)

    Go to : VM Configuration(http://kb.parallels.com/117287) > Options > Shared > under shared Folders click Custom Folders > Click on “+” to add desired folder as Custom Shared Folder.
    Now Follow the path to open Parallels Shared Folders.

    open terminal and enter the following commands:

    $cd /media/
    $ls
    $cd Custom Folder Name

    And let us know how it goes!
