Only using VRPC on MS-Windows not a Mac, but in case the principle is the
same.
With VRPC in a Window click menubar "Tools"
HostFS tab

Mount  Whatever name you want on the icon bar. In my case Pen.
Path  The letter assigned to the device by the underlying OS in my case D:\

Of course Tim's last suggestion is by far the easiest.
