Forum Topic - Port of VMW: (2 Items)
   
Port of VMW  
VMW is a collection of VMWare utilities which are written by the same person (Ken Kato) who runs the VM Back website (
http://chitchat.at.infoseek.co.jp/vmware/index.html) and did the original work which we based the vmtool stuff on.

vmw includes 3 utilities:
  vmw - command line access to vmware backdoor functions. Potentially useful in scripts
  vmftp - ftp client which treats the host shared folder like an ftp server. Really useful!
  vmshrink - access to the ability to shrink the filesystem backing file (in the host) to the
                  curently used space in the guest.  Only works with filesystem mounted as /
                  right now.

I have only done this in QNX 6.  In fact it was done in QNX 6.3.2 running under VMWare Fusion on my Macbook Pro, so let 
me know if you have problems in other environments.
