You need spice-webdavd and once it is running you should be able to access a webdav server on localhost. Check documentation for spice-webdavd for more details. |

Here's what worked for me. Install the needed tools (make sure to enable unprivileged access when prompted): sudo apt install spice-vdagent spice-webdavd davfs2(not sure if restarting is needed) Shared directory should now be accessible via HTTP, you can check via: $ curl http://127.0.0.1:9843/It should list the contents of your share. To mount it to a directory: $ sudo mkdir /mnt/shared
# empty user and pass here
$ sudo mount -t davfs -o noexec http://127.0.0.1:9843/ /mnt/shared/Store the credentials so it doesn't prompt you next time: # "anyuser" and "anypass" can really be anything,
# but seems to be required when specifying in the file.
$ sudo cat >> /etc/davfs2/secrets << EOF
# mounted UTM directory
/mnt/shared anyuser anypass
EOFTo have it mounted automatically on boot (make sure that creds are stored as above): # add to fstab
$ sudo cat >> /etc/fstab << EOF
# mounted UTM directory
http://127.0.0.1:9843/ /mnt/shared davfs _netdev,user 0 0

@mkkumar1988 you probably have some program listening on port 4000 on the host. Perhaps other QEMU instances, try to kill/shutdown all of your VMs (or even restarting your device) before retrying. |

@mkkumar1988 You're using an outdated version of UTM. Upgrade to the latest 3.x release. |

None of these suggestions worked for me. I finally found joy following these steps. Host: MacOS Ventura 13.0 on MacBook Air M2 hope it helps! |

@fiore42 Thank you very much for pointing this out! I had overlooked that the instructions how to set up the different UTM shared folder backends for Linux guests are now actually present in the official UTM docs. For my Ubuntu 22.04-based VM (Kubuntu), the VirtFS instructions there worked for me out of the box, no installation required. As the UTM docs point out, VirtFS is expected to be faster than SPICE WebDAV. |

On an M1 host, Ubuntu 20.04 guest (ARM), these instructions only "somewhat" work. Mounting at the command line works: However, adding the equivalent line to /etc/fstab does not. |

This worked for me, but note that there is bug which will prevent some files with URI special characters (ex. [test]) from displaying. The files will display in the output of curl http://127.0.0.1:9843/ and in the gui file browser (e..g. Thunar), but will not be displayed in any command-line interaction (ls, 'find, etc.). The likely cause is described here: iterate-ch/cyberduck#13864 (comment)
But I'm not sure where to report this.

I managed to make it work for Ubuntu VM like this: On OSX 15: The other workaround (as per @samiraguiar answer): sudo apt install spice-vdagent spice-webdavd davfs2
sudo tee -a /etc/fstab <<<"http://127.0.0.1:9843/ /mnt/shared davfs defaults,_netdev,nofail,auto,user,uid=USER,gid=USER 0 0"
sudo tee -a /etc/davfs2/secrets <<<"/mnt/shared USER PASSWORD"Note: Uppercase strings should be replaced with actual data. |

Describe the issue
I installed Debian 11 (no desktop environment) and the Spice Guest Tools per this link. I then added a shared directory and restarted the VM. After looking all over the disk in the VM, I cannot locate where this shared directory is on the disk and it appears as if it has no awareness of this setting. Is this not compatible with a headless Debian VM?
