VBoxManage copyto file->file rather odd

Reported by: rogierschouten Owned by:

Description

My use case is to copy a file from host to guest and rename it in the process.

The way to do this is:

VBoxManage.exe guestcontrol "my-machine" --username user --password secret copyto C:
foo.txt --target-directory "C:\bar.txt"

Apart from this looking rather strange (a file name in the --target-directory), it is also not described in the manual. Either the manual or the CLI could be fixed.

Host: Windows 7 Guest: Windows Server 2012 R2
