Aha:) I have followed your advices, but the effect is the same with I
have patched
I don't have good environment to do more test...So I still need to
read source code deeply!

Actually, I'm always curious if copying muti-files/folder can be done
by compressing to a zip/... before transfering ......of course, it's not a
cool solution...

> Otoh, you might be interested in the sharing folder functionality. It allows you to have a folder on the client mounted/visible directly in the guest. From there copy will work like a regular guest operation, with guest UI etc.

Here's a  particular requirement that files can ONLY be draged from
local to guest......

I'm really appreciate to hear that, thx a lot:)
