File Transfer Windows to Linux via rdesktop
- use ftp client
- but rdesktop supports file transfer modes.
Before connecting to Windows make a directory on your local Linux.
mkdir ~/wintrnfr
$ rdesktop -f 10.20.30.40 -r disk:linux=/home/ward/wintrnfr
-r : this is the remote share option.
disk is one of the options available, this will create a disk on the network devices of the Windows box, named “linux” which will point to /home/ward/wintrnfr on Linux .
you need Windows XP and newer for this feature, the device name is limited to 8 characters
on your Windows box (via the rdesktop interface) go
Network Places > Entire Network > Microsoft Terminal Services > tsclient
( Remote Desktop Services (RDS), known as Terminal Services in Windows Server 2008 and earlier)
you’ll find a device named linux, this is your /home/ward/wintrnfr folder
The -r option of rdesktop support other redirections such as sound, printer, clipboard and more. Check the manual.
