From my Ubuntu repository :
virt-manager : 1:1.3.2
virt-viewer: 1.0
Looks like I am going to compile the sources !
Thank you Pavel !

Hello,
considering that you are using Ubuntu chances are high that you have
an old version of spice-gtk and virt-viewer. You must have at least:
virt-viewer 3.0 (released in 2015)
spice-gtk v0.28 (released in 2015) (built with webdav support)
and then you use remote-viewer or virt-viewer to connect to you
virtual machine. Click on File -> Preferences and select the folder
Best regards,
Pavel

Hello,
I am a senior Linux sysadmin, and I am just discovering QEMU/KVM at
home, where I am using Virtualbox on Ubuntu 16.04. So far, I must
say I like it ! Many years ago, Qemu was a pain : it is a miracle,
the improvement is unbelievable ! My warmest congratulations to
everybody who has worked so hard !
At work, I am administering VSphere and VMware Workstation.
So far, I am not digging into QEMU/KVM internals, rather discovering
it as an end-user (just to try and see if I can advertise it at
work, for my non-IT users)
I imported successfully an Ubuntu 16.04 vm from VB to QEMU/KVM, and
I can drag-and-drop a file from the host to the VM : amazing !
I imported successfully my Windows 7 guest and my Windows 10 guest
(some filesystem issues with Windows 7 which I fixed, none with
Windows 10), installed the spice guest tools in both from here :
https://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/spice-guest-tools/spice
-guest-tools-latest.exe
and I can resize the display nicely.
I am having an issue with the shared folders, which "do not work" :
what I did :
- in virt-manager, I enabled the channel org.spice-space.webdav.0
- in the guest, I installed space-webdavd from here :
https://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/spice-webdavd/
- I read
Spice User Manual
https://www.spice-space.org/spice-user-manual.html
Now :
- from this manual, I do not see where I can find this : "Use the
remote-viewer "File" → "Preferences" menu to enable it"
- I do not find which command provides the option --spice-share-dir
: man -K spice-share-dir does not yield any result, whereas man -K
spice does; and I guess I installed almost every (?) available virt*
and qemu* package from the Ubuntu repository;
- in Windows (7 and 10) with an elevated cmd.exe : this bad thing
happens :
C:\WINDOWS\system32>"c:\Program Files\SPICE webdavd\map-drive.bat"
C:\WINDOWS\system32>net use * http://localhost:9843/
System error 67 has occurred.
The network name cannot be found.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>REG ADD
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints
2\##localhost@9843#DavWWWRoot" /v "_LabelFromReg" /t REG_SZ /d
"Spice client" /f
The operation completed successfully.
even if the Spice proxy service is running, as far as I remember - I
even disabled the firewall.
and in the Event Viewer (7 and 10) I see regular occurrences of :
Faulting application name: spice-webdavd.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time

Can anybody help ? Is this feature publicly available, or is it
still in development, or stalled, or dropped ?
Best regards
