Hi,

I'm trying to run below command from my Mac(Catalina Mac OS) terminal. (VMWare Fusion Pro 11 + OpenSuse Leap 15.2 Guest OS).

./vmrun -gu "root" -gp "Password" CopyFileFromGuestToHost "/Users/VM185084/Virtual Machines.localized/OpenSUSE 64-bit.vmwarevm/OpenSUSE 64-bit.vmx" "/etc/fstab" "/tmp/file_linux"

Error: Unknown error

Details:

1)

/etc/fstab file exist in my VM.

vm185084@localhost:~> ps -alx | grep vmtools

Can someone please help why vmrun is still throwing error?

15.2 isn't supported by Fusion 11.

Compatibility guide

Does the issue persist with Fusion 12?

Thank you for the response and Yes, issue persist with Fusion 12 as well.

Does this have anything to do with host OS? 

I'm having Catalina, can upgrade to Big Sur fix this?
