file list from a partial VMDK file

Hi,

I am working with 2 sites.

On site #1 I am using VMware Player (Windows Virtual Machines).

I want people on site #2 to be able to see the progress of the work – to see the file list of the virtual machine.

Due to some network bandwidth limitations, I can't transfer the "entire" virtual machines files between the sites.

I was wondering if there is a way to transfer just a small partial part of the VMDK file, and still to see the file tree of the virtual machine.

I used some application to cut the VMDK file to a transferaable size (only the first MBytes).

When I tried to use "vmware-mount" utility for this partial VMDK file, I can mount it, but when I am trying to access the file, I get the error message "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable".

Many thanks!!!
