"guestcontrol copyto" --recursive

Post by BuG »

I make a new thread for this problem...

I try to copy the following files/directories to the VM:
C:\test\test.txt
C:\test\test1\test1.txt
C:\test\test1\test2\test2.txt

If think the correct command should be:
"C:\Program Files\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" guestcontrol copyto "Windows 7" "C:\test" "C:\test" --recursive --username BuG --password myPassword

This command does not copy anything even if it reports a success. The problem is that no directories are created. If I first create the directory structure c:\test\test1\test2 on the VM everything works as expected.

We'll look into this past 4.0.
