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.

Description Hans de Goede 2013-04-24 10:50:40 UTC 
The summary says it all. spice-gtk based clients and the linux agent now support agent based client -> guest file transfer, the windows agent should be extended to support this too.

This is not working. I filed a bug against this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1011645

The RHEL 6.5 guest with spice-vdagent-0.14.0-2.el6, works.

Comment 11 Uri Lublin 2013-10-08 16:48:58 UTC 
Works For Me (see "But" below) with a Windows 7 x64 guest.

But the files are copied to a "common" directory:
  c:\users\public\desktop

I expect the files to be copied into a user directory, e.g.
  c:\users\USERNAME\Desktop or %LOCALAPPDATA% or similar
Comment 12 Vimal Patel 2013-12-03 19:41:05 UTC 
Verified that file transfers (drag and drop from client to guest) works using RHEVM is24.2, with vdagent-win-3.3.2.

Verified on:
Scenario 1:
client Window7, Virt-Viewer 0.5.615.el6_5
dragging and dropping a file to:
guest: Windows 7, with vdagent-win-3.3.2

Scenario 2:
client RHEL 6.5 32bit, Virt-Viewer 0.5.6
dragging and dropping a file to:
guest: Windows 7, with vdagent-win-3.3.2
