How can I copy/paste files via RDP in Kubuntu?












29















I recently installed the latest Kubuntu (x64) on my work machine as I am trying to migrate away from Windows. Unfortunately I use RDP very frequently to connect to customer's servers and need to be able to copy files across.



I have tried the following packages with no luck:



remmina
rdesktop
xfreerdp



My latest attempt to solve this involved connecting one of my folders to the remote server, here is the command I used to launch rdesktop:



rdesktop -5 -K -r disk:home=/home/dai -r clipboard:CLIPBOARD -r sound:off -x l -P 192.168.0.2 -u "administrator" -p pass


The servers are not all running the same version of Windows, the one I've been trying so far is running Server 2003 R2. Customer servers range from Server 2000 to Server 2008.



I've been Googling this like mad but all the solutions I find seem to fail, maybe because almost all the help out there assumes that I'm running Gnome.



Sorry if this is a stupid question.



Thanks in advance for your help.



Edit: Copying and pasting text seems to work just fine, but that's not what I need.

          https://github.com/FreeRDP/Remmina/issues/243 says that shares show up using Remmina when you also enable sound redirection. To recap, here is what you have to do:




          1. Create a Remmina RDP connection to the windows machine

          2. Choose a share folder

          3. In Advanced tab, change sound to local. Save it and connect


          Then the shared folder appears in My computer in windows.

          (If it does not appear, trying clicking Refresh).

          Quoting from the man page (http://linux.die.net/man/1/rdesktop):




          -r comport:<comport>=<device>,...
          Redirects serial devices on your client to the server. Note that if you need to change any settings on the serial device(s), do so with
          an appropriate tool before starting rdesktop. In most OSes you would
          use stty. Bidirectional/Read support requires Windows XP or newer. In
          Windows 2000 it will create a port, but it's not seamless, most shell
          programs will not work with it.



          -r disk:<sharename>=<path>,...
          Redirects a path to the share tsclient on the server (requires Windows XP or newer). The share name is limited to 8
          characters.






          Thus, something like this should work:



          rdesktop -r disk:sharename=/home/dai -P 192.168.0.2

            I don't suppose you know how to access the share using remmina? \tsclient is empty even though a share is set. Remmina works better fullscreen than rdesktop so I'd rather use that.

          It is strange, but rdesktop requires to share disk and sound together:



          redsktop -r sound:local -r disk:share=/home/me

            Another option would be (if it is suitable of course) to use shared foler, which you can define in the connection profile of remmina.



            Go to connection profile and at the bottom define a folder to share with remote machine.

                Using remmina (1.2.0), it's an option in the gui:




                • Edit your connection

                • Check on 'Share folder' and select one folder in the host.

                    1. You could connect to shared windows folders, e.g. with nautilus.


                    2. You could setup a Samba Server on your machine and connect to it from the windows machine.


                    3. You could setup an FTP Server on one of the Machines and an FTP Client on the other machine.


                    4. Most solutions do not depend on whether you use KDE or Gnome or whatever. You can use "Gnome-Programs" in KDE and the other way around.



                    There is also an openssh for windows which could help you:



                    sshwindows



                    Then you could use scp e.g.:



                    scp sourcehost:/any/directory /any/local/directory
                    scp /any/local/directory destinationhost:/and/directory


                    But I did not try that.

                      Most of the servers are a very long way away, hidden behind various types of VPN and not open to tinkering by myself. I just want a nice simple ctrl-c, ctrl-v like I would do if I was using Windows remote desktop.

                    In Remmina RDP connection in Windows server and no transfer files.



                    Easy in software manager just look for file transfer.
                    Like Sshfs - Filesystem client based on SSH File Transfer Protocol
                    Install it.

                      https://github.com/FreeRDP/Remmina/issues/243 says that shares show up using Remmina when you also enable sound redirection. To recap, here is what you have to do:




                      1. Create a Remmina RDP connection to the windows machine

                      2. Choose a share folder

                      3. In Advanced tab, change sound to local. Save it and connect


                      Then the shared folder appears in My computer in windows.

                      (If it does not appear, trying clicking Refresh).

                      Quoting from the man page (http://linux.die.net/man/1/rdesktop):




                      -r comport:<comport>=<device>,...
                      Redirects serial devices on your client to the server. Note that if you need to change any settings on the serial device(s), do so with
                      an appropriate tool before starting rdesktop. In most OSes you would
                      use stty. Bidirectional/Read support requires Windows XP or newer. In
                      Windows 2000 it will create a port, but it's not seamless, most shell
                      programs will not work with it.



                      -r disk:<sharename>=<path>,...
                      Redirects a path to the share tsclient on the server (requires Windows XP or newer). The share name is limited to 8
                      characters.






                      Thus, something like this should work:



                      rdesktop -r disk:sharename=/home/dai -P 192.168.0.2

                        I don't suppose you know how to access the share using remmina? \tsclient is empty even though a share is set. Remmina works better fullscreen than rdesktop so I'd rather use that.

                      It is strange, but rdesktop requires to share disk and sound together:

                        It is strange, but rdesktop requires to share disk and sound together:



                        redsktop -r sound:local -r disk:share=/home/me

                              Another option would be (if it is suitable of course) to use shared foler, which you can define in the connection profile of remmina.



                              Go to connection profile and at the bottom define a folder to share with remote machine.

                                                              1. You could connect to shared windows folders, e.g. with nautilus.


                                                              2. You could setup a Samba Server on your machine and connect to it from the windows machine.


                                                              3. You could setup an FTP Server on one of the Machines and an FTP Client on the other machine.


                                                              4. Most solutions do not depend on whether you use KDE or Gnome or whatever. You can use "Gnome-Programs" in KDE and the other way around.



                                                              There is also an openssh for windows which could help you:



                                                              sshwindows



                                                              Then you could use scp e.g.:



                                                              scp sourcehost:/any/directory /any/local/directory
                                                              scp /any/local/directory destinationhost:/and/directory


                                                              But I did not try that.
