mount: unknown filesystem type 'vmhgsf' – CentOS

I’m trying to mount my windows shared folder in centOS using command: 

~mount -t vmhgfs .host:/shared-folder /var/www/html/

Unfortunatelly I get :

~monut: unknown filesystem type 'vmhgfs'

error. I tried to use:

~/usr/bin/vmhgfs-fuse /mnt

but mountpoint is not empty…

Is there any way to mount this folder on VMware player?

    Try this:

    vmhgfs-fuse .host:/shared-folder /var/www/html/

    you might need to use sudo on this

    The below is working perfectly fine for me. Might be useful for someone.

    Already I have mapped the required folders in "SharedFolder" settings. But it was not showing up.
    Additionally running this command shares the windows directories.

    sudo /usr/bin/vmhgfs-fuse .host:/ /home/user/win -o subtype=vmhgfs-fuse,allow_other

    Working from a MacBook Pro running Big Sur and using VMware to host the virtual machine with CentOS 7 operating system. Had issues with loading in shared folders after VMware tools were installed. What worked for me is to use this exact command:

    sudo /usr/bin/vmhgfs-fuse .host:/ /mnt/hgfs -o subtype=vmhgfs-fuse,allow_other

    Hope this saves others the trouble of tracking down this solution.
