Hi, As you probably know, native windows terminal servers (and Citrix/ICA/XEN servers) are able give access to local disks of the terminal client in the remote rdp session. xdmcp and xrdp are both nice alternatives to have remote graphical sessions to Linux servers and work fine on virtually all terminal clients, some very very basic terminal clients don't support xdmcp and then xrdp comes in handy to connect to a linux server.
There is however a feature that lacks in the linux implementation: local disk sharing towards the rdp server's client session. Meaning someone who plugs in a USB stick in a thinclient and then logs in to a windows terminal server (or citrix) can access this USB disk from within the RDP session. I was not able to get this to work on a XRDP server, does anyone have an idea to get this to work? Thanks, Joost BTW: On fatclients there are many possibilities, using scp, sftp, fish or sshfs,... all based on ssh to get someone his files uploaded to or downloaded from a X-server. to get this to work on a thinclient, it means most often : hacking the client to get it to transport the files via ssh or add a connection to a (Aaaargh!!!) windows server, just for uploading/downloading the files. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ xrdp-devel mailing list xrdp-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xrdp-devel
