If the files are not coming from the end-user who is accessing the system via Guacamole, but are coming from the server running the Guacamole components, or some other server on the same network as the one running the Guacamole components, then wouldn't it be easier just to use SMB to push the files to the remote system? I understand that you want to do it at the same time the user is in the RDP connection, but it seems like it might be easier just to trigger the workflow from Guacamole, but use a different file transfer mechanism since the system already has that level of access to the remote server?
