[SOLVED] Mapping folders via RDP session.

ursusca · 03-03-2010, 05:48 AM

Hello,

Is it possible to connect local folders to the remote windows machine via RDP session?

For example Microsoft's RDP Client has a feature that will connect local hard drives to the remote machine when you open a RDC.

I need to copy files but I can't use smbmout because of firewall.

Thanks,

I know that in ubuntu you can. You have to load the RDP package but you should be able to map the local drive though the RDP session.
Cheers!

Hello computerman1983,

Thank you for attention to my question. You can install RDP package on every Linux distro

. None of the current front-ends to rdesktop support drive redirection. But it's possible from a command line with -r 'disk:linux=<path_to_the_folder>' option. An example is shown below:
rdesktop -r 'disk:linux=/home/mike'
I map my home directory.
