Problem copying something from the work VM to dom0

[5qvig7+72wbojzjmyk1...@guerrillamail.com]

Hello everyone;

I'm trying to copy a file from my work VM to dom0, I followed the doc on this matter https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/copy-from-dom0/

So I used the following line,

qvm-run --pass-io work 'cat /home/user/Downloads/theme.tar.gz' > /Downloads/theme.tar.gz

However I get this error:

bash: /Downloads/theme.tar.gz: No such file or directory

Even when I use sudo qvm-run ...etc I get the same error.

How can I fix this?

Thanks and Happy end of the year!

Best wishes!

The directory /Downloads likely does not exist, so the redirection >
can not create a file there, even as root.

Try "> ./Downloads/theme.tar.gz" instead and it may work for you,
assuming you are in the home directory which has a Downloads
subdirectory off of it.
