Can I transfer files alo copy paste in Remmina (or another RDP client) on 13.04 while connected to a Windows 7?

When I connect to a remote Windows 7 using as FROM a Windows 7 machine, I can copy paste files between machines. How can I enable that feature while using as FROM Ubuntu?


You can do it with FreeRDP (freerdp-x11 package) via terminal:

xfreerdp +drives /u:username /v:server_address:server_port

+drives tells FreeRDP to connect all your local drives.

If you dont have it you can install it:

sudo apt-get install freerdp-x11

Thank you @betatester07 for this +drives hint! My hints below:

  • You can also use /drive:name,mountpoint directive to provide only a given path to a remote client :-)
  • You can put all parameters into a text file (i.e. ~/client.rdp with each parameter into single line) to have your favorite configuration stored and quickly accessed:
/drive:stuff,/mnt/stuff
/u:USER_NAME_HERE
/v:CLIENT_IP_HERE
/size:1080x1920
/f

Now you can now simply connect each time with:

xfreerdp ~/client.rdp

Tested on FreeBSD :-)
