Possible drag and drop files from windows 7 virtual machine in vmware?

Question

I currently have a win7 x64 bit appliance. vmware is installed on Ubuntu 12.04. I'm using vmware 4.0.4.

I was told by a friend that you can drag and drop files from vmware straight onto the Ubuntu desktop.

Is this actually possible? If so do i have to install anything to get this working? Or is suppose to work out of the box?

From what I know and I have only used VMware workstation 6 and above. You need to install VM tools here is a link to your version.
