VBoxManage guestcontrol <VMName> copyto issue

[Lu]

Hello all,

When I try to execute following command:

c:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage guestcontrol Gateway copyto "C:/Data/Test.xml" "C:/Documents and Settings/user1/Desktop/Gateway/" --username user1 --verbose

It fails with the following message:

Opening guest session as user 'user1' ...
Waiting for guest session to start ...
Guest session (ID 1) has been started
Copying from host to guest ...
Directory "C:/Documents and Settings/user/Desktop/Gateway/" already exists
Source: C:/Test.xml

VBoxManage.exe: error: Copying file "C:/Test.xml" failed with status 500, exit code 1.
VBoxManage.exe: error: Error processing "C:/Test.xml", rc=VERR_GENERAL_FAILURE
Closing guest session ...

My host machine is running under Windows 7 and Guest on Windows XP SP3

Someone know what's the problem?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I have the same problem, it seems a bug in the copyto function due to a timeout of 30 seconds.

thanks, VirtualBox is going to correct it soon?
Have you discussed with Virtualbox to confirm this issue?
