Subject: how to transfer files from guest to client
Hello,
I upgraded my spice guest tools from 0.65 to 0.74 on my windows 7 guest.
I see that transfer was introduced in 0.72 for windows apparently.
In fact I can transfer files from my fedora 20 client (that is also
the spice server btw) to windows 7 guest (I see them on the desktop,
is this the default and only way?).
But I have not understood if it is possible the other way from the
guest to the client and in that case how to do.
It's not possible, not supported case, As I understand There is no way how
you could know what you grabbed on the guest side (so no guest -> client
direction) as well as no way how you could know where you drop transferred
file on the guest (so it's by default copied to Desktop folder I believe).
Spice is missing "normal" drag and drop support between guest and client. This is more complicated than just a "copy file" protocol.
Afaik, this is something that is possible, and has been working for quite some time in other solutions.
It is possible to add a virtual folder/icon on user's desktop in the
guest, such that
files drag-and-dropped on that folder are copied by spice-vdagent to a
predefined
directory on the client (using the current protocol but in a the
opposite direction).
