Description: This task uses several VMware Guest OS activities. It creates a session using the Connect activity, logs onto the guest VMware using the Login activity, and checks if a specific guest file exists on the host using the File Exists activity. If the guest file exists, it is copied over to the host machine using the Copy activity. The task ends with a Disconnect step. Comments are included in the task to explain each step.
