i used this program but i got this error

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Local file path points to a directory: C:\temp1\guest\

    at org.doublecloud.vi.vmware.guest.GuestFileDirector.uploadFile(GuestFileDirector.java:183)

    at org.doublecloud.vi.vmware.guest.samples.GuestDownloadFile.main(GuestDownloadFile.java:38)

i create this folder C:\temp1\guest\ in my  laptop and create c:\\temp in vm

any idea about this problem

are you sure you are specifying directory paths the way shown in code? double backward slash is required.

fd.uploadFile("C:\\temp\\guest\\steveproxy.jar", "c:\\temp\\steveproxy.jar");

    fd.uploadFile("C:\\temp1\\guest\\", "c:\\temp\\");

Also please check what is the uploadFile() method signature i.e. What is source path & what is destination path.

If you resolve above 2 stuffs, code should go through.

thank u very much it work

but is there any way to determine the source and destination file at the time of programming work or not

[vThinkBeyondVM]

When we are uploading file from one location to other,

    >we should have source location (i.e. the file location that you want to upload)

   >destination location (i.e. what is the location where you want to upload in VM)

I wanted you to check the uploadFile() method argument sequence so that you can specify appropriate file location while calling this method. I wanted you to make sure you specify correct argument sequence.

Is there any example can u give for understanding this idea

[vThinkBeyondVM]

com.vmware.vim25.mo.ServiceInstance.ServiceInstance(URL url, String username, String password, boolean ignoreCert)

Above method (ServiceInstance) we call in order to login. What is the argument sequence from left to right ::: 1. URL   2.  String username 3. String password 4. boolean ignoreCert

Now if we pass 2nd argument as "password" then call is going to fail as password is 3rd argument & username is 2nd.

In the same way I wanted you to check the argument sequence for "uploadFile()" method so that you will not go wrong while calling this method.
