title: How to Copy from Dom0
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This page covers copying files and clipboard text between [dom0](/doc/glossary/#dom0) and [domUs](/doc/glossary/#domu).
|
||||
Since dom0 is special, the processes are different from [copying and pasting text between qubes](/doc/copy-paste/) and [copying and moving files between qubes](/doc/copying-files/).
|
||||
|
||||
## Copying **from** dom0
|
||||
|
||||
### Copying files from dom0
|
||||
|
||||
To copy a file from dom0 to a VM, simply use `qvm-copy-to-vm`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
qvm-copy-to-vm <target_vm> <file>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The file will arrive in the target VM in the `/home/user/QubesIncoming/dom0/` directory.
|
||||
|
||||
### Copying and pasting clipboard text from dom0
|
||||
|
||||
Use the **Qubes Clipboard** widget:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Copy text to the clipboard normally in dom0 (e.g., by pressing Ctrl+C).
|
||||
|
||||
2. Click the **Qubes Clipboard** icon in the Notification Area.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Click "Copy dom0 clipboard".
|
||||
This displays a notification that text has been copied to the inter-qube clipboard.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Press Ctrl+Shift+V in the target qube.
|
||||
This pastes the inter-qube clipboard contents into the target qube's normal clipboard.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Paste normally within that qube (e.g., by pressing Shift+V).
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can put your text in a file, then [copy it as a file](#copying-files-from-dom0).
|
||||
Or, you can write the data you wish to copy into `/var/run/qubes/qubes-clipboard.bin`, then `echo -n dom0 > /var/run/qubes/qubes-clipboard.bin.source`.
|
||||
Then use Ctrl+Shift+V to paste the data to the target qube.
|
||||
|
||||
### Copying logs from dom0
|
||||
|
||||
In order to easily copy/paste the contents of logs from dom0 to the inter-VM clipboard, you can simply:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Right-click on the desired qube in the Qube Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Click "Logs."
|
||||
|
||||
3. Click on the desired log.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Click "Copy to Qubes clipboard."
|
||||
|
||||
You may now paste the log contents in qube as you normally would (e.g., Ctrl+Shift+V, then Ctrl+V).
|
||||
|
||||
## Copying **to** dom0
|
||||
|
||||
Copying anything into dom0 is not advised, since doing so can compromise the security of your Qubes system.
|
||||
For this reason, there is no simple means of copying anything into dom0, unlike [copying from dom0](#copying-from-dom0).
|
||||
|
||||
There should normally be few reasons for the user to want to copy anything from domUs to dom0, as dom0 only acts as a "thin trusted terminal", and no user applications run there.
|
||||
Sometimes, new users feel the urge to copy a desktop wallpaper image into dom0, but that is not necessary.
|
||||
A safer approach is simply to display the image in [full-screen mode](/doc/full-screen-mode/) in an AppVM, then take a screenshot from dom0, which results in exactly the image needed for a wallpaper, created securely and natively in dom0.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are determined to copy some files to dom0 anyway, you can use the following method.
|
||||
(If you want to copy text, first save it into a text file.)
|
||||
Run this command in a dom0 terminal:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
qvm-run --pass-io <src-vm> 'cat /path/to/file_in_src_domain' > /path/to/file_name_in_dom0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note that you can use the same method to copy files from dom0 to domUs (if, for some reason, you don't want to use `qvm-copy-to-vm`):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cat /path/to/file_in_dom0 | qvm-run --pass-io <dest-vm> 'cat > /path/to/file_name_in_appvm'
|
||||
```
