vmware-xferlogs is a simple console application and can be run as any user. It is based on rpctool to
dump the vm-support output to the vmx log file base64 encoded. It can dump any file supplied on the
commandline to the vmx log. It also does the decoding part of it. It can read the vmware.log file decode
and write the encoded files in the directory it was invoked.
Example of a transfer found in the vmx log file:
