Hello everyone,
I release yesterday a new app called VMware Tools Client wich is a guest operations user interface and leverages the vSphere Guest API to interact with the VMware Tools installed in your guest OSes. Regarding features, you can execute commands and scripts, transfer files, do connectivity tests (ping), and so on.
Some screenshots here:
Use cases are various, such as:
- Troubleshooting a rogue VM that you disconnected from the network
- Managing DMZ VMs
- Quickly transfer (large) to and from VMs
- Manage virtual appliances
- Re-configure network settings when you fat-fingered a network configuration and ejected yourself
- and so on…
