Cannot upload files via vifs

Hi,

I have issues uploading files to a datastore of a ESXi 5.0  cluster using vifs.

I already updated to the new version of vifs from this forum and use:

vifs --server SERVERNAME --username root --password PASSWORD -Z DATACENTER -p debian-netinst.iso  "[datastore_zzz] yyy"


After a few seconds, I get only

Error: File debian-netinst.iso can not be uploaded to yyy.

I can see the contents of the directory with vifs --dir and the file to be uploaded is not in this directory yet.

Can somebody help me debug this?

Cheers,

Tobias

Hi,

selfpwn!

For documentation: when uploading or downloading a file, you have to specify both, local and remote, filenames. Not only the Path.

Cheers,

Tobias
