I have the exact same problem.

1) I'm not sure what Data...-> Upload file means. I tried that in a
notebook session as suggested but got a syntax error. I also try
Upload? but no information is available.

2) I understand that one can set up a file sharing folder between
windows and VMware but looks like it requires one to have VMware
Workstation (to install VMware Tools) which is not a free product.

Can we find an "upload window files to VMware system for dummies"
somewhere?

Thanks
