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.
