This can either be a separate server (e.g. Linux) that the files are transferred to and then made available, or you can install a SFTP server on your Windows systems and point it at the same server. How you handle authentication and the various challenges with that will depend on where you point it. Also, if you choose to use a separate SFTP server, then you need to find a way to make those files available to the Windows server - either SFTP clients on the Windows server, share the files via Samba, etc. > Also, I came across this URL: https://sourceforge.net/ > p/guacamole/discussion/1110834/thread/9b3cc822/#9a0f > Is it still valid?

If you use RDP file transfer support, then, yes, the files will get stored on the system running guacd. However, if you're using SFTP, then the files are stored on the SFTP server, wherever that is, and not (necessarily) on the server running guacd (unless, of course, that's also the server you use for SFTP). -Nick
