Thanks for the reply Nick.
I am using the standard Guacamole protocol plugins for human users. I also have automated functions that need to perform actions like moving files or executing commands. In those cases, I can use standard Java libraries and make services to do automated Telnet/SSH & FTP/SFTP actions. However, I started thinking about what it might be like if Guacamole had headless protocol plugins that could be used by automation. So, I was curious to know if anyone had actually tried something like that.

For example, download a file to a specific local guac server location. In the hypothetical example below when the Guacamole.Client connects it would login to hostname and download the remote file specified from hostname to the local destination on the guac server with no display. Regards, Jeff Jeff, I don't know of anyone having done this, but I guess I'm a little fuzzy on why you'd want to do this in the first place? Why not just a normal transfer protocol, like FTP, FTPS, SFTP, SCP, etc., and find some way or another to have the user launch that in a user-friendly way? I guess I'm not understanding what you gain in doing something like this with Guacamole? -Nick
