vmware-xferlogs - dump vm-support output to vmx logfile
vmware-xferlogs OPTIONS FILE
vmware-xferlogs is a simple console application and can be run as any user. It
is based on rpctool to dump the vm-support output to the vmx log file base64
encoded. It can dump any file supplied on the commandline to the vmx log. It
also does the decoding part of it. It can read the vmware.log file decode and
write the encoded files in the directory it was invoked.
Example of a transfer found in the vmx log file:
