I am always looking for quick easy way of transferring files between a QEMU virtual machine and the host operating system. Most of the time FTP is a reliable and fairly universal way and is easy to set up using midnight commander
, Thunar
or gftp
beats out setting up shared folders in testing rapidly advancing experimental distro builds in ISO form. The plan9 method or SAMBA also work nicely but while connecting to an older former workhorse, Bionic64-8.0, that is heavily customized for running Zoneminder and object recognition - facial recognition I came across a package I had installed called croc
that handles peer to peer file transfers.
I installed the latest release package from GitHub repo
or the Releases Download Page
croc
installed easily on KLV-Airedale-sr4 using xdeb
from the command line, and worked OOTB! Made several transfers between the KLV running on a QEMU virtual machine and the host F96-CE_4
Sending from KLV-Airedale-sr4:
Receiving in F96-CE_4:
Perhaps a candidate for inclusion in the rootfs?
