Mount remote directory in guacd connections

Hi,

On the servers where our guacd containers are running we have a directory with some common data that acts as a repository.

Is it possible to mount this directory through config parameters or something like that for new connections to servers?

Or something like a tunnel through ssh port and mount this directory?

Our purpose is to make available this repository with common data for all our remote connections.

Thanks

Hello Sean,

Thanks for your response.

What we are looking for it’s to mount a ‘common’ directory for all our remote connections, this directory will act as a repository with common data for all of them, like programs, xls… where users can use it if it’s required, without having to upload any file that they need and is available in this folder. Something like sshfs once the connection is started:

[cid:18510cd992f22c1e53e]



In RDP connections we achieved it with a symbolic link from the drive path defined for RDP connections to this directory on the host where guacd container is running:

[cid:18510cd992f23a35d4f]

[cid:18510cd992f2484d5510]

Is it possible to do this for ssh connections?

I'm not sure this is possible completely through Guacamole, but I think there are some alternative scenarios you could consider that would accomplish the same thing across the board. For example, you could:
* Set up a central server, perhaps LInux-based, that would share a filesystem via NFS, SMB, and SSH/SFTP.
* In the RDP and SSH connections, enable and configure the SFTP option to point to this directory.
* On your Linux remote systems, mount the folder via NFS or SSHFS.
* On your Windows remote systems, access the share via SMB.

This is a bit simplified - depending on what you're sharing that folder for, you may have to deal with some access control issues - enabling POSIX ACLs, etc.

Is it possible to do this for ssh connections?

And for RDP connections, is it possible to apply this automatically for all directories defined for each user to upload their files?

Hello Jorge,

You can do a drive share with SSH connections (as the connector type), just enable SFTP.



If you are looking for a GUI upload and download use the hot keys CRTL+ALT+SHIFT to engage the menu and you will see the Drive option in there.
[cid:image002.jpg@01D90E0A.0E121C30]
If you need further help I can do a simple recording of the process and upload that to our media site for you to watch.

Also be aware that libssh2 may need to be updated on the system you are using SSH they changed the default security (more restrictive) setting in the newer openssh program.

Hope this helps


Thank You
