Thanks David,
Thats amazing!
I'm curious though. Just playing around I can Remote Desktop
Connect to our XP Pro server without using SSH from home, then
using the server's Remote Desktop connection get to my computer's
desktop as well.
This is bad. You have RDP open to the world. I hope your usernames
are unguessable and your passwords are very long unintelligible
sentences.
But the way you do it, my local printer at home is available for
printing. Where as described above, the local printer is not
available. (probably not as secure as your way also)
Why?
Because you're double-hopping. RDP printer re-direction is complex
enough once and you're asking it to do it twice.
A single RDP connection, tunneled directly to the computer you want
(via SSH for security) will allow you to print with most printers,
provided that the printer is installed with the same driver name on
both ends.
Peter.
