Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: rdesktop

This thread reports a problem with rdesktop and Windows 2008.

I too have the same problem:

r...@adventure:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Release:        10.04
r...@adventure:~$ apt-cache policy rdesktop
rdesktop:
  Installed: 1.6.0-2ubuntu3
  Candidate: 1.6.0-2ubuntu3
  Version table:
 *** 1.6.0-2ubuntu3 0
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Command:
rdesktop -T'192.168.10.50 - Terminal Server Client' -uAdministrator 
-pXXXXXXXXXXXXX -g1024x768 -rsound:local -rclipboard:PRIMARYCLIPBOARD

rdesktop: A Remote Desktop Protocol client.

What I expect to happen:
With a local disk mapped to a Windows 2008 RDP session I expect to be able to 
list, move, copy, create and delete files and folders.

What actually happens:
I am only able to list folder contents. Any move, copy, create or delete 
operation gives the following error in Windows:
Error 0x8007048F:The device is not connected.

Then the mapped drive becomes totally inaccessible, with attempts to list the 
folder contents giving:
\\tsclient\Local is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this 
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you 
have access permissions.
Attempt to access invalid address.

This is NOT a permissions problem. The same connection works fine to a Windows 
2003 server.
This may also be a problem with RDP to Windows 7.

This appears to be fixed by this patch (not tested by me):
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2812158&group_id=24366&atid=381349

I don't know if this patch has been included in the rdesktop SVN trunk.

Please include the patch.
