VNC does not usually support file transfer within the VNC protocol itself. In some servers it is implemented as an extension to the protocol, but this is not part of the standard, and very much depends on server and client support. Guacamole Server (guacd) uses libvncserver/client to support VNC, so its ability to support these extensions is limited to what that library supports. In general, for anything other than RDP, you have to use SFTP for file transfer. -Nick
