I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly.

According to the usage, the syntax is:
qvm-copy-to-vm destination_qube_name FILE

This is for copies from dom0 only.

When I do this, I get a dialog that asks me which qube I want to copy my
file to. Why have this, if I already specified it in the command line?
Is there a way to suppress the dialog? And if not, what's the purpose of
having the destination_qube_name in the command line in the first place?

3.2 used to permit the destination_qube_name in there, but 4.0+ doesn't.

I'm told that some use qvm-copy instead of qvm-copy-to-vm. Whenever I
use the qvm-copy command (with the destination qube and the file to
copy) I always get the error message "Can't stat destination_qube. File
or directory doesn't exist (or something like that)"

All I want to do is copy a file from one qube to the next without
hassle. Suggestions?

From a terminal session inside the source qube, use "qvm-copy [filename]". It will then prompt for the destination qube.

Ok. Thanks for the explanation. Still doesn't seem right to me, though. I think I should be able to do the whole copy/move with one command, rather than two.
