RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

--- Additional comment from Pavel Grunt on 2016-09-07 04:35:08 EDT ---
There are two problems:
1. the dialog showing up & transfer going on - spice server should tell spice-gtk, that file transfer is disabled
2. the dialog window cannot be closed - that is virt-viewer's problem
This should potentially be fixed by [0], depending on expected behavior. It should pop up a dialog citing each file that has failed to transfer, without the rationale on why it has failed (probably by design).
[0] https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2017-July/038469.html
The actual reason for failure can be seen as warning, for instance:
(remote-viewer:12620): virt-viewer-WARNING **: File transfer task 0x2a14b20 failed: The file transfer is disabled
As per comment #1, virt-viewer does not receive any errors from spice-gtk when a file-transfer failed due the fact that file-transfer was disabled in the host.
The fix is in spice-gtk so I'm moving to spice-gtk component...
Moving to verifies:
tested on client (rhel7.5):
virt-viewer-5.0-9.el7.x86_64
spice-gtk3-0.34-2.el7.x86_64
guest (rhel7.5):
spice-gtk3-0.34-2.el7.x86_64
spice-server-0.14.0-2.el7.x86_64
spice-glib-0.34-2.el7.x86_64
with single or multiple files xfer cancelling file xfer works ok.
