Hello,

In order to write to a VMFS you need

A) to do so as Root. If your client is giving you permissions problems then try transfering the file to /tmp on the host then login to the host and place it within the proper directory on the VMFS.

B) THe target of the copy must be /vmfs/volumes/Best regards,
