Having a shared folder visible&editable from outside of a virtual machine

[longtalker]

I am using VMWare Workstation 14 Player on a Windows 10 host, to use the guest OS "Cent OS". Using VMWare's settings for this virtual machine, I have defined a certain folder from my Windows PC hard-drive to be seen inside the guest OS.

I would like to be able to move and rename files inside that shared folder from outside the virtual machine, i.e. directly from Windows. Is there a way to achieve this?

You'd have to break the share, perform whatever manipulation you want from the host side, the re-configure the share.
