Something that took me a long time to notice was that you can actually copy files directly over a RDP session from/to the local machine or other RDP sessions using the clipboard.. Even nested RDPs. Has been an absolute timesaver to know about when doing Windows admin work.
- rurounijones 13y agoDoesn't work for me when using an RDP client on Linux. Is this an RDP spec thing or a microsoft only feature?
- jethro_tell 13y agoI think it depends on how you mount your clipboard/drives on rdp connect. To get it right with windows you just check the share clipboard/share drive checkboxes and off to the races. With rdesktop you have to throw the -r flag and mount a clip board and then the -r flag and mount a drive. Not sure about other Linux clients but I'm sure there's a similar option in all of them.
- rurounijones 13y agoExcellent, thank you very much. I use KRDC and a bit of googling shows that that uses rdesktop in the background. I shall investigate.
