Well, that all depends on how you configured vmware.

If you did a raw disk, then the simplest thing is to mount that
partition while vmware is down.

If you have host networking, you can use Samba or FTP while vmware is
up.

I think that if you have the filesystem in a file you can use the
loopback device (man losetup) to get to the file system, but I'm not
certain of that.

| 
| Just curious.

| Thank you so much.
