    how do i copy a file from host to hyperv vm

    Welcome to Ten Forums.


    You haven't said what the guest OS is, but from your destination path it would appear to be some form of Linux. Depending on which one it may, or may not, have the required Linux Integration Services. This may help, if not for Copy-VMFile itself, then it suggests alternative ways to transfer a file. Method 4, a transfer vhdx, should work whatever the guest OS is.

    My guest VMs are all various versions of MS Windows, Copy-VMFile works for them.

    Cannot open a default share C$ from a HyperV VM to host machine.

    Hi,

    I am unable open a default share C$ from a HyperV VM to host machine.

    I have a Windows 10 Host machine (PC-A) running HyperV and a VM running Windows Server 2019 on top of it (PC-B).

    PC-A configuration: Windows Firewall enabled by default. Enabled File and Print Sharing via "allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall"

    PC-B (VM) configuration: Windows Firewall enabled by default. Enabled File and Print Sharing via "allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall"

    I am able to PING both ways. From PC-A to PC-B (VM), I am able to open the default share (C$/D$) using windows authentication.

    From PC-B (VM) to PC-A I am able to ping but I am not able to open the default share (C$/D$) using windows authentication. I get Access Denied error message.

    I even tried to turn off the firewall on PC-A, but it does not work.

    Please help!
