Re: Linux host / Windows guest sharing

Thank you. It is clear now, so it was user error and I should read more 
documentation :)

Unfortunately drag and drop isn't working. Is there any prerequisite? 
My host is FC20 and guest is Win2k8 server

Thank you
Vlad

As far as I know (I've never really used this feature), you should be mounting the shared folder within the guest, but windows doesn't really support the 9p filesystem. Other alternatives include mounting a SMB share on both the host and the guest.  Spice also has basic support for file transfers from the host to guest (just drag and drop a file icon onto your virt-viewer window and it should automatically transfer it to the guest).  Marc-andre is also working on a webdav sharing feature for spice, but it's still in development.
