Negar, My experience was with Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit on VMWare Workstation 10.0.2. It might not work with other versions. The host OS was Win7 64-bit
Have you verified that the "Shared Folders" is enabled before starting up the Ubuntu ? You may verify that before powering on the Ubuntu. VM--->Settings--->Options--->Shared Folders = Enabled Hope this helps.
