The title pretty much makes the point. I am working around the problem by using shared folders, which do work between the guest and host.
When doing a d&d or c&p, the Error while copying dialog detail says 'Error when getting information for file "Zsv1YQ/<filename>": No such file or directory'I
It appears to be one-way. I can move TO the guest, but not TO the host.
This is reproducible. I've restarted the systems, I've restarted (/etc/init.d/vmware restart) on the host, and restarted vmware-tools on the guest. Nothing has resolved the problem.
All of this was working fine prior to the upgrade (from 15.5.2).
vmtoolsd -v reports 10.3.21.249 (build-14772444)
