Subject: Re: [virt-tools-list] 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
The prerequisites should be the same as those for clipboard sharing. I've just tried
file transfer on win xp and windows 7 guests and they both work fine -- the file shows up
on the desktop after it has finished transferring. There's not a lot of user feedback
while the transfer is happening though...
