VMWare player dosent let you create virtural machines, only run ones
created with any of the other VMWare products.. for instance the
m0n0wall team has setup a developent environnment in vmware and has it
for download on there website and you can run that with VMWare player
to do customizations to the image. Hell, you can even run m0n0wall in
vmware.

To handle moving files between the two is the same as movin files
between two physical machines.. any way you want..
samba/ftp/sftp/scp/etc

Ive got BSD's and other flavors of linux running in VMware for
development purposes, comes in very handy.
