Hey everyone!
I'm trying to do some command line interaction with a FreeBSD 6.2 vm. Every time I try I get "Error: Invalid user name or password for the guest OS". The command line I'm running is:
# vmrun -T server -h https://hostip/sdk -u hostuser -p hostpass -gu vmuser -gp vmpass copyFileFromHostToGuest \ Linux_FreeBSD_6.2_English/FreeBSD.vmx "/path/to/my/file" "/destination/path"
I use this exact line for other linux vms that I have (CentOS, RHEL, and Fedora) and it works like a champ. gu and gp are absolutely correct and contain no special characters. Any idea why I would be getting this error? I tried changing the password several times on the FreeBSD box to absolutely ensure I'm using the correct user and pass to no avail. It makes me think a setting in FreeBSD is set that doesn't allow the root user to interact via vmware tools. Any ideas?
host: RHEL 5
vmware: Server 2.0
tools: 2.0.0 build 122956
Thanks in advance!!
