qvm-run -a --pass-io

cat /path/to/file_in_dom0 | qvm-run -a -q --pass-io <dst_domain> 'cat /path/to_file_name_in_appvm'

This command is not working if the AppVM is not running.
More specificly: no real error messages, but a 0 byte file in the testination place instead. The same commands are ok if the VM way already running.

It works for me... Perhaps fixed by some commit in the meantime.

BTW in the ticket description you've forgot about '>' in 'cat > /path/to_file_name_in_appvm'.

Yes, looks like it is fixed on the pre-Beta 3 now.

This did not work for me in R2. You need to specify the complete path to cat on the host vm:

''cat /path/to/file_in_dom0 | qvm-run --pass-io <dst_domain> ''''/usr/bin/'''cat > /path/to/file_name_in_appvm''''

Your Wiki should be updated accordingly: [http://wiki.qubes-os.org/wiki/CopyToDomZero]
