  1. Open UiPath Studio and create a new automation project.
  2. Use the VMware Horizon activities package, if available, or use UiPath’s standard activities to automate the process of connecting to the remote VM using VMware Horizon Client.
  3. Use UiPath activities to interact with the shared folder, such as “Click” and “Type Into” activities, to navigate to the desired files within the shared folder.
  4. Use UiPath activities like “Copy File” or “Copy Directory” to copy the files from the shared folder to a temporary location on the virtual machine.
  5. Use UiPath activities to automate the process of disconnecting from the remote VM and closing the VMware Horizon Client.
  6. Use UiPath activities to move or copy the files from the temporary location on the virtual machine to your local machine.

Hope it helps!!

  1. Open UiPath Studio and create a new workflow.
  2. Import the System.IO library.
  3. Create a variable to store the path to the shared folder.
  4. Create a variable to store the path to the local machine folder.
  5. Use the CopyFile activity to copy the files from the shared folder to the local machine folder.
  6. Create a new folder in the shared folder with the current date.
  7. Use the PasteFile activity to paste the files from the local machine folder to the new folder in the shared folder.

If a shared link or shared drive can be created between your local and vm …then that shared drive can be used to move files between
