File Transfer From Windows to Linux via rdesktop

The rdesktop tool is required for desktop management in a Windows box using Lyrics as the local machine you used.

Sometimes it's important to be able to exchange files from place to place using rdesktop even especially when there is no FTP service. It is our good fortune that we support file transfer mode using rdesktop tool.


Now, when connecting to Windows, we will use this kind of notation on the rdeskop arguments,

 

  
$ rdesktop  172.16.91.100 -r disk:linux=/home/hackerboy/Documents/ine-lab

 -f : this is not of importance in our case, it’s just for full screen mode, to enter and exit fullscreen mode, press Ctrl+Alt+Enter
 

 -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 disk:linux=/home/hackerboy/Documents/ine-lab on our Linux box. Don’t forget that you need Windows XP and newer for this feature, and the device name is limited to 8 characters!


After connecting with these options, on your Windows box (via the rdesktop interface) go to this interface page...see the below..

Here you’ll find a device named linux on Kumar Atul Jaiswal, this is your /home/hackerboy/Documents/ine-lab folder!

The -r option of rdesktop support many redirections such as sound, printer,  clipboard and more. Check the manual pages for more detail.
