Description
I want to transfer the file from Vcenter datastore to VM once the VM is created to install few updates. InitiateFileTransferToGuest(https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi/blob/master/docs/vim/vm/guest/FileManager.rst) can be used to upload the file to VM but how to transfer/copy a file from vcenter to VM using pyvmomi ?
