Update…it wasn’t perms on the Guac server.
I’ve been playing around and testing different things, turns out it was the XRDP on both an Ubuntu and a newly built Xubuntu; for testing I built a Windows 10 box and the RDP file transfer worked fine. I built a new Ubuntu VM and installed the available xrdp in the repos, and the file transfers worked. (for now I suppose) I will have to go back and document what the versions were and such…but xrdp has been the culprit for about 98% of my issues, not Guacamole. 😊 -Matt From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 24, 2020 11:55 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: File Transfer Issues - What user account is Tomcat running as? tomcat - What user account is guacd running as? root - Have you checked the folder specified in the drive redirection to make sure the user(s) running Tomcat and guacd have the correct access to the folder? Both root/tomcat (on the Guac server) have access to the folder as far as I can tell. I noticed when I upload a file through the browser, that the file gets the permissions -rw------- (user perms rw) on the Guac server. I cannot even see the file on the xrdp endpoint.

I face similar issues... but only on centos/fedora. Ubuntu and Windows is perfectly fine. greetings, Sebastian On 22.

Situation: I am attempting to use the Device Redirection – Drive w/ XRDP on a Linux host. --I cannot put a file from the xrdp endpoint into the thinclient_drives/GUACFS folder --From my workstation I can drag a file into the browser and it is uploaded to the specified folder on the Guacamole Server, but I never see it on the xrdp endpoint. Seems like a permissions issue related to the specified directory on the Guacamole Server, but I have no idea where to start with troubleshooting that. Can someone give me a hint on where I should focus my troubleshooting? Yeah, sounds like it could be permissions-related. A couple of questions to try to help resolve this: - What user account is Tomcat running as? - What user account is guacd running as? - Have you checked the folder specified in the drive redirection to make sure the user(s) running Tomcat and guacd have the correct access to the folder? -Nick
