Fixed In Version: libguestfs-1.20.9-5.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Trying to download a file which is in fact a directory, using the guestfs_download API / guestfish 'download' command. Consequence: Downloading a directory using the guestfs_download API or guestfish 'download' command is an error. However libguestfs would get confused and the lose protocol synchronization instead. Fix: Test if the source of the download is a directory and return an error if so. Result: Trying to download a directory will print an error instead of getting confused.
