Upload and attach disk image

[GabrieleV]

Hello,
I'm evaluating PRoxmox, and I'm very happy with it.
I can't figure out if it is possible to upload a disk image (vmdk, qcow, raw...) from the gui, and attach to a virtual machine.
It seems that the only way is create a virtual machine with a dummy disk image, uploading manually the real disk image to the proxmox host and rename it as the dummy disk image.
Am I wrong ?
IMHO, this is a "must have" ...

Thank you !

there is no GUI for that, you need to do this via scp and CLI.

reason: uploading such huge files does not work reliable via a browser.

Maybe ok for the trouble of uploading.
But having the possibility to attach an ALREADY uploaded file will be enough ...

If you do a 'qm rescan <VMID>', the uploaded disk appear as 'unused' disk.

Thank you dietmar and tom, this is another step to perfection !
Add this feature to the todo's for the gui

Create an issue with the bugtracker with that request

Mmmh, it seems that bug ID 57 is already suggesting this ...

for upload through the browser, maybe something like :
http://www.plupload.com

could be great.
it's support chunk uploads + html5 (and gpl v2 license)
