Copy and Paste from VMware

If you want the ability to copy and paste to and from your virtual machine in VMware with your host machine, you need to install the VMware tools inside your virtual machine: http://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/new_guest_tools_ws.html

Once the VMware tools are installed, you then need to launch the VMware toolbox utility. Do that by typing the following on the command line:

vmware-toolbox &

Once that is done copy and paste should work.
