In your Ubuntu installation, use the file manager to extract the contents of VMwareTools-10.0. from the CD to a directory on your Ubuntu installation. This will mount the CD containing the VMWare tools on your virtual machine. You can access your shared files either via the command-line terminal or the Ubuntu file manager. Start your Ubuntu virtual machine, and in the VM window, choose "VM->Install VMWare Tools". Access shared folder in Ubuntu Once the shared folder is mounted in VMware, it will automatically be available in the Ubuntu VMware Workstation VM via the /mnt/hgfs/ folder.
Please note that open-vm-tools from the Ubuntu repositories does not currently support file sharing in Ubuntu. If you have not installed the vmtools from the VMWare 'CD' for your Ubuntu guest, you will need to do so first.
