The suggested method is posed a challenge in my deployment, as the guacd server 
is hosted independently and served through an ELB. Direct disk access to the 
guacd server is not available to clients or the web application, and currently, 
guacd does not appear to support remote recording retrieval via an interface.

I will proceed to investigate other options. Should anyone have further 
insights or alternative ideas, I would appreciate it if you could share them by 
replying to this email.

Thank you!

Although the terminal is a text-based protocol, no plain text is sent to the

The rendering is calculated server-side (guacd) and sent to the client as 
instructions to draw the terminal content. These instructions can be images 
representing a portion of the display, such as those you may have intercepted 
through the websocket.

What is the need?

Is this for auditing purposes? If that's the case, you might be able to use the 
session recording extension:

I agree - I think the typescript recording would allow you to pull the data 
from those commands.
