hi,
manually means copy paste in nautilus or below one

Code:
$ cp /home/guest/source/xyz/Test/testsrc.c /home/guest/source/Dest/
$ ls /home/guest/source/Dest/
testsrc.c

both works .

i wanted to have output as
/home/guest/source/Dest/xyz/Test/testsrc.c

if i had to copy different files under different directories then i had to create all those dirs & subdirs manually .
i dont want to do that manually.

Do i need to check the presence of dir like xyz Test abc etc (obviously it wont be for the first time) and create those dirs and then run cp command?

virt-copy-in

virt-copy-in(1) 					      Virtualization Support						   virt-copy-in(1)

NAME

       virt-copy-in - Copy files and directories into a virtual machine disk image.

SYNOPSIS

	virt-copy-in -a disk.img file|dir [file|dir ...] /destination

	virt-copy-in -d domain file|dir [file|dir ...] /destination

WARNING

       Using "virt-copy-in" on live virtual machines can be dangerous, potentially causing disk corruption.  The virtual machine must be shut down
       before you use this command.

DESCRIPTION

       "virt-copy-in" copies files and directories from the local disk into a virtual machine disk image or named libvirt domain.

       You can give one of more filenames and directories on the command line.	Directories are copied in recursively.	The final parameter must
       be the destination directory in the disk image which must be an absolute path starting with a "/" character.

EXAMPLES

       Update "/etc/resolv.conf" in a guest:

	virt-copy-in -d MyGuest resolv.conf /etc

       Upload a home directory to a guest:

	virt-copy-in -d MyGuest skel /home

JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH

       This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the guestfish(1) "copy-in" command.  For anything more complex than a trivial
       copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly.

OPTIONS

       Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read guestfish(1) to see the full list of options.

SEE ALSO

       guestfish(1), virt-cat(1), virt-copy-out(1), virt-edit(1), virt-tar-in(1), virt-tar-out(1), http://libguestfs.org/.
