When I was trying to drag some files from my Windows XP host to the Ubuntu guest in VMware workstation 6, an error occurred:
Cannot scan local directory. You may not have permission to perform the operation. Aborting the file copy operation
However, I remember that this function works well in VMware server. What happened to workstation?
Under the help of Google, I found that it is a bug in VMware workstation 6, which will occur when the dragged file contains some non-ascii characters in the file name. Unfortunately, this error hit me since the file name I tried to dragged contains some Chinese characters.
To work around this issue, there are two ways: one is to rename the file to get rid of the non-ascii characters, and another is to archive the dragged files into a compressed package, such as zip, rar file, then drag the package to the guest. For the convenience, I prefer the latter method since you can keep all dragged files intact in a package.
