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.

Doc Text:
In this release, copying a file by drag-and-drop from a client to a Windows guest is now supported even when the copied file name already exists on the Windows guest. The new copy of the file is renamed with a numeral added to the file name.

Description Andrei Stepanov 2017-01-04 16:50:15 UTC 
User cannot drag-and-drop files from a client to a guest(windows) that already exist on guest. 

vdagent-win-4.1-1
RHEV-toolsSetup_4.1_3.iso
rhev-guest-tools-iso-4.1-3.el7ev.noarch


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a some file on guest's Desktop.
2. On client create a file with same name.
3. Drag-and-drop file from client to guest.

Actual results: The file is not copied.

Expected results:
File should be copied. File name on guest should be changed and have a suffix.

Additional info:
This is how it is done for RHEL guest:

file.txt -> file.txt(1) -> file.txt(2) -> file.txt(3)

My point that drag-and-dprop sould work in the unified way for both: Linux & Windows guests.

Comment 2 Victor Toso 2017-11-30 17:53:23 UTC 
Should be fixed by:

commit 241425b7da80626f0d3bc471202e753f0f1dd178
Author: Frediano Ziglio <fziglio>
Date:   Wed Apr 26 15:34:53 2017 -0500

    Support file transfer for existing files
    
    Previously, if the user attempted to transfer a file that had the same
    name as a file that already exists on the guest, we would just fail the
    transfer. This patch tries to match the behavior of the linux vdagent
    where we try to append an integer onto the name of the new file to make
    it unique. For example, if you tried to transfer 'file.doc' to the guest
    and that file already existed, it would try to create 'file (1).doc'
    instead. If that also failed, it would attempt 'file (2).doc', etc, up
    to 63.
    
    Resolves: rhbz#1410181
    Acked-by: Jonathon Jongsma <jjongsma>

Should be already fixed in latest build since 4.1.z
Comment 3 Victor Toso 2017-12-11 07:59:07 UTC 
As per comment #2, we can move this to ON_QA to verify the fix on 4.2
Comment 5 Radek Duda 2018-02-21 09:01:25 UTC 
This is not fixed for Windows guests. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1410181#c2 mentions fix for linux guest.
Tried rhel75 host/client + Win10 guest with vdagent-win-4.1-5 drivers installed. After file transfer (of the file, which already exists on guest's desktop) an error message emerges: 'An error caused the following file transfer to fail: $filename'
So moving back..
Comment 6 Victor Toso 2018-02-23 11:27:59 UTC 
I've just confirmed that the problem here is not in vdagent's code but in sprintf_s() function or in mingw [0] to be precise.

[0] https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/bugs/525/

The upstream code originaly used sprintf() function as the target buffer has enough space but that seem to cause a crash depending on which Fedora version you were building it with [1]

[1] https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2017-May/037661.html

The issue around sprintf() was not tracked and I couldn't find any reference to a bug upstream. I've tested here with sprintf() and I could not see any issue.

I'll have a downstream patch changing from sprintf_s() to sprintf() and check how to get the fix for mingw in RHEL/RHEVM.

Just for completeness, running:
>     char buffer[128] = "";
>     int value = sprintf_s(buffer, 128, "test");
>     vd_printf("%d: '%s'\n", value, buffer);

Is going to print "0: ''" instead of "4: 'test'"

It seems the last builds of mingw-crt were done by us (SPICE team, by Fidencio). If I followed the discussion correctly, the patch fixing sprintf_s is https://github.com/mirror/mingw-w64/commit/9975303 and seems easy to backport (though maybe we'll want to rebase mingw-crt instead while at it?)
Comment 9 Victor Toso 2018-02-26 12:36:25 UTC 
Considering comment #8, moving to 4.3.
Comment 11 Victor Toso 2018-10-22 10:56:00 UTC 
Should be fixed by rebase on Bug 1615874

I'll move to POST, this should be included in an errata to have the fix documented for customers.
Comment 12 Sandro Bonazzola 2019-01-28 09:40:19 UTC 
This bug has not been marked as blocker for oVirt 4.3.0.
Since we are releasing it tomorrow, January 29th, this bug has been re-targeted to 4.3.1.

4.3.1 has been released, please re-target this bug as soon as possible.
Comment 15 Sandro Bonazzola 2019-03-26 10:14:43 UTC 
4.3.1 has been release a while ago as RHV 4.3 Beta 2, re-targeting to 4.3.3 for re-evaluation
