Question How to move files from system to VMware and vice versa ?

I've installed ubuntu using VMware in my XP. Now I want to move files from my XP's local drives to the virtual machine (ubuntu).

How ?

Maybe this helps:

BTW, I have XP as guest in my Ubuntu with Virtualbox OSE and sharing files was simply a matter of putting them in /home/user/Shared folder and mounting a network drive in XP.

Please install VMWare Tools first.
This enables drag and drop option of sharing files between guest and host.
