From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not sure whether open-vm-tools is needed for that, but you could try using the clipboard for the purpose. Compress the data and BASE32 encode it. Maybe also split it to smaller units so that it fits any clipboard limits.
How much data do you want to transfer?
You could also consider copying open-vm-tools to the VM this way, and then you could make use of proper shared folders.
