10680,VBoxManage guestcontrol copyto: Wildcarding doesn't work,Studley,,"According to the documentation for VBoxManage, The 'copyto' subcommand of guestcontrol should allow wildcards to be specified when copying from a source.

However, when I attempt this, I get an unexpected error (""source does not exist""). If I replace the wildcard with the path to an individual file, the file copies correctly.

In my example, I have a folder full of JAR files:

> VBoxManage guestcontrol ""myVMname"" copyto C:\build\*.jar /home/test/Downloads/ --username test --password test --verbose
Copying from host to guest ...
Directory ""/home/test/Downloads/"" already exists
Source: C:\build
VBoxManage.exe: error: Warning: Source ""C:\build"" does not exist, skipping!

> VBoxManage guestcontrol ""myVMname"" copyto C:\build\install.jar /home/test/Downloads/ --username test --password test --verbose
Copying from host to guest ...
Directory ""home/test/Downloads"" already exists
Source: C:\build\install.jar
Copying ""C:\build\install.jar"" to ""/home/test/Downloads/install.jar"" ...
0%...10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...100%

In my two commands, the only difference is that the first contains a wildcard (which the documentation says is valid syntax). Wildcarding is essential in my scenario as I don't necessarily know how many JAR files there will be - I just want to copy all of them.

The problem seems to be on the host-side rather than the guest, but if it's relevant, my host is Windows 7 Professional SP1, and my guest is Oracle Linux 6.",defect,closed,guest control,VirtualBox 4.1.16,worksforme,copyto,,other,other
