If you're running one of the $pay$ versions of VNware, you can do this easily and directly using the "shared folders" feature. You configure this in the "Options" tab of the Virtual Machine Settings dialog. (This is based on VMware 5.5; I'm sure the essence is the same on 6.0 even if some of the UI details have changed.) You can map any number of directories in the host file system to what appear to be remote shares or drives in the Windows guest. I only know for a fact that you can do this when Windows is the guest OS, which is by far the preferable approach since that way Windows' poor use of hardware resources doesn't degrade the performance of a Linux guest. And the whole shared folders thing is not included in the VMware "Server" (the $free$ version).
