Upload files on server side to windows
Hi,
I want to upload files from my linux server to a windows client over RDP.
The user has no access to this files, so he can not
use the browser for upload. I want automatically upload this files over the
guacamole tunnel. I found the createFileStream() methode
but it looks like this API is for a web client upload. My preferred environment
is a nodejs server.
Can I access the user tunnel on the server side and upload my file over RDP
to the client?
Can I use the share option to get the session? Then can I use this URL for
the tunnel?
Is it possible to share the session automatically with my node server over
the guacamole API?
Or perhaps you have a better way to send files over the guacamole API the
the windows client.
Thank you
Peter

Hi Nick,
you are right. It is not necessary to use the tunnel.
I use a RDP connection. I haven´t understand how guacamole really works.
But now I have seen there is a share folder for RDP sessions. I only need to copy my file
into the local share folder.
Sorry, for all the questions. The way is simple, how to copy the files to the client from the
guac-server.
THANK for the support
Peter

Okay, I guess my initial question would be, why do you need to do this
using the RDP connection at all? If the files are not coming from the
end-user who is accessing the system via Guacamole, but are coming from the
server running the Guacamole components, or some other server on the same
network as the one running the Guacamole components, then wouldn't it be
easier just to use SMB to push the files to the remote system? I
understand that you want to do it at the same time the user is in the RDP
connection, but it seems like it might be easier just to trigger the
workflow from Guacamole, but use a different file transfer mechanism since
the system already has that level of access to the remote server?

On the server side they are Tomcat and guacd. I have a RDP connection from guacd to a remote windows system (sorry, called that client). I want to transfer a file from the Tomcat/guacd-server over the RDP-guacamole-tunnel to the remote windows system (client).

We have a WF and when the file is approved it should be send in the same time as the as user is in the RDP connection.
I hope that I can use the share URL to access the tunnel.
Is there a other way to access the users tunnel and upload the file?
Thank you for your help

You might have to clarify a bit what you mean by "linux server" and
"windows client." Generally, when thinking about Guacamole infrastructure,
I think of the client as the system accessing Guacamole via a web browser,
and the server as either the system running Guacamole (Tomcat and/or
guacd), and then the Remote Server as the one being accessed via Guacamole.

The share option provides credentials that will then allow someone to
access the tunnel, but it does not directly give you a link to the tunnel.

Maybe you can define terms a little more precisely, as suggested above, and
tell us a high level what you're trying to accomplish and why.
