@@ -370,3 +370,23 @@ We would like to add: - An easier way to use this from guestfish. - Direct access to the /dev/mapper device (eg. if it contains anything apart from VGs). + +Recursive upload / download of multiple files +--------------------------------------------- + +virt-tar is really clumsy to use, and upload/download in guestfish can +only do single files. tar-in in guestfish can upload multiple files, +but only if you have prepared a tarball in advance. + +What we really need is a method which is as easy to use as 'scp' and +'scp -r'. + +Can we add this as a command in guestfish? This will be more useful +since users will already need to be in guestfish in order to create +target directories, review what they've done etc. It could be a meta- +command such as: + + copy-in-recursive localdir remotedir + copy-out-recursive remotedir localdir + +which would hide use of tgz-in etc. |
