copyto issue

Post by kjonca »

Can anyone confirm having working "copyto" on Virtualbox 5.1.18 ?

Code: Select all

VBoxManage guestcontrol fluor copyto --verbose --username kjonca --password x --target-directory c:/xxx.txt ~/tmp/tmp.LGPhE58TPI

What's your host?
Follow a "start from cold-boot"/"observe error"/"shutdown" cycle. With the VM shut down completely (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log". Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response (see the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form).

Also, if you're coming from a ticket (like you are now) it's better if you reference that ticket, so that others can see that this bug was originally opened in 5.0.0 (20 months ago), fixed and reopened in 5.0.18 and re-fixed in 5.0.20 (11 months ago), reopened with 5.1.2 (7 months ago) and verified as semi-fixed by you (7 months ago), and finally re-"opened" 5 hours ago.

Ticket #14336.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
