FreeRDP
Share remote directory with local environment
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Client: Archlinux with KDE Server: Windows I can connect to the RDP server and also share e.g. my local /home/ with it so that I can access those files in my RDP connected Windows environment. But I would also love to have it the other way due to performance / applications reasons. E.g. connect to the remote RDP Server and then share one of its folder to my local Linux client. From there I could open the folder with e.g. Dolphin and open any files with my locally installed applications which would also then get a performance boost by using my local hardware.
Describe the solution you'd like Add a way to share remote directories to my local machine. e.g. I connect via RDP to a Windows Server. There is an EXCEL file in folder "Z:/". Instead of opening that EXCEL file in my RDP session, I want to open it on my local machine by accessing that "Z:/" folder like a shared network folder
Describe alternatives you've considered I don't really know of any other alternative.
not part of the RDP protocol. would require client and server support (which will most likely never happen with windows RDP server), so your best option is most likely a network share.
keeping this open if someone has a better idea.
Well I can share a folder from my local machine to the external RDP server through my RDP connection. I hoped it would be possible to also do this the other way around..
A network share would be fine as well but I can't do that on an RDP server where I don't have admin access?
