File transferring based on UltraVNC
Hi all,
I am doing POC of migration from ultraVNC java applet to guacamole HTML5.
Everything went well until I started research file transfer possibilities.
In our old solution we are using file transferring provided by ultraVNC
which is based on the RFB protocol.
I found the Guacamole provides also way how to share files over the VNC but
it is based on the SFTP. The problem is that we cannot use SFTP (from
whatever reason).
My question is. Is there any way how to use ultraVNC file transferring in
guacamole? What I understand this kind of file sharing is specific for
ultraVNC so I guess answer is no.
Then I have second question. Is it enough for feature request? Or is it
planned in the road map? I guess I am not alone who would like to use this
feature.
Thanks for answer. Kind regards
Jan

Hi Shanon,
I totally understand how the file transfer mechanism works but we have
really special environment. Basically we have two problems:
1. We have limited possibility to install new software to the remote
desktop client (due to hardware resources)
2. We are not able to open new ports at all (security restrictions)
Back to my previous question. Is there any possibility like that?
thanks
Jan

Hi Jan
SFTP is between the Guacamole server and the remote desktop server. For the
end-user all they do is drag & drop files into the web browser, or click
and browse with the Ctrl + Shift + Tab (or swipe left).
If the remote desktop server is Windows you may be able to use RDPDR for
file transfer only and continue VNC for the screen connection, but you'll
need help on this thread on how to do this.
cheers
