Hi everyone

First post here, I would like to import a VM QCOW2 disk image from another KVM hypervisor to Proxmox
I want to upload the file to VM ID 104, the question is how can I access my Data-Storage LVM from Winscp ?
Here is an LVS output
Code:
root@cmhlshuttle:~# lvs

Hi,

qcow2 can't be imported directly to LVM over the network.
You must copy it first on a filesystem on the host or use a USB stick.
Then you can use the "qm importdisk" to import it to the LVM
