Do you mean the code in qga/? That is the QEMU guest agent. It does not have a command to create directories. > I read little bit about live-guestfs, but it needs another agent in to the > VM.

Do you mean libguestfs? That's a tool for disk image manipulation. Very powerful but works on offline guest disk images. It does not work while the guest is running. > Is there any other ideas on copying files in to a running VM ? The same network transports that you would use on a physical machine: HTTP, CIFS, NFS. Or an emulated device like a USB Mass Storage Device (like hot-plugging a thumbdrive into a computer) or the experimental USB Media Transfer Protocol emulation. Stefan
