Hi,
I am running Win8.1 in VMplayer 7.0 with a shared folder with my host Ubuntu 14.04 system. Whenever I create or save a file in Windows, it gets the permissions -rwxr-xr-x in the Linux file system. This means that even word documents and text files shows up with the executable flag, which is rather confusing when navigating the terminal. Is there any specific reason why VMPlayer is not using more standard text document permissions like -rw-rw-r-- ? Is there anything I can do to change the default permissions VMPlayer creates files with?
I was running Virtualbox before switching to VMPlayer I believe this was not an issue back then, but I am not sure about this, so if someone else could confirm that would be great.
Cheers,
