VMware Player, Win10: Command: Copy File to Shared Folder > System Cannot Find the Path Specified

$

I'm running VMware Player 15.5 in a Windows 10 VM on a Win10 VM host. I run this command:

 

copy "C:\Path Name\File Name.ext" Z:\VMShared

 

where VMshared is designated (and works) as a shared folder. I would incidentally prefer to give it a letter other than Z, but haven't yet figured out how, and am living with it as-is.

 

The command does not copy File Name.ext. Instead, it gives me an error: "The system cannot find the path specified." This isn't what I would expect. Windows Explorer within the VM reports, under This PC, the presence of "Shared Folders (\\vmware-host) (Z:)," and the VMShared folder under it.

 

The problem isn't on the source side of the command. This command works:

 

copy "C:\Path Name\File Name.ext" ..

 

BTW, how do you enter a command in Code font here?

 

Thanks ...
