to send a file, you should be aware that by default, you can only send a file to lxcmastr. The command for this is “put” e.g.:

put linuxtst.direct

to put to a different user, you could use something like:

put vswsetup exec ( U autolog1 D 191 Replace

get is to collect files from z/VM. So yes, this is possible in LXC already (I already used this).

One more comment: dirmaint uses flashcopy during clone when flashcopy is available. Thus that is actually quite easy to handle.
