Copy and paste between remote sessions using Remmina
In the past, I have been able to copy and paste text between Windows and Linux remote desktop sessions. Now for some reason, I cannot do this. I would like to regain this functionality, how might I do that? I am using Remmina for my remote desktop connection.

I too am experiencing this in Ubuntu 15.04, for now, all I can do is direct you to the bug I reported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/remmina/+bug/1439478
Update: I ultimately solved this by installing a newer version this way:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:remmina-ppa-team/remmina-next ; sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install remmina remmina-plugin-rdp
After doing this, it may require a reboot.
Cool, I reported it. hey there is a new version. Ill try that. Or maybe Ill go back to an older version. github.com/FreeRDP/Remmina/downloads
I also had to manually upgrade libfreerdp-plugins-standard ; for some reason the dependencies weren’t properly set in the packages: sudo apt-get install libfreerdp-plugins-standard
Copy pasting text to and from host Ubuntu and remote Windows is working with RDP. But I cannot copy paste image from host Ubuntu to Office running on remote Windows. Does this need some more configuration / installation?
It’s not a solution, but if you don’t have time to install anything, reboot, or investigate what’s going on:
Close session, restart Remmina and open session again.
Ok, I was reading the README in the new source code. I got to the line were it says: install dependencies:
$ sudo apt-get install cmake intltool libgtk-3-dev libssh-dev libavahi-ui-gtk3-dev libvte-2.90-dev libxkbfile-dev Reading package lists. Done Building dependency tree Reading state information. Done cmake is already the newest version. Suggested packages: autoconf2.13 autoconf-archive gnu-standards autoconf-doc libtool libgtk-3-doc libssh-doc The following NEW packages will be installed: autoconf automake autotools-dev intltool libatk-bridge2.0-dev libavahi-client-dev libavahi-common-dev libavahi-glib-dev libavahi-ui-gtk3-0 libavahi-ui-gtk3-dev libdbus-1-dev libgtk-3-dev libssh-dev libssl-dev libssl-doc libvte-2.90-dev libvte-2.90-doc libwayland-dev libxkbcommon-dev libxkbfile-dev 0 upgraded, 20 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 4,839 kB of archives. After this operation, 28.4 MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Y
Once I installed that, I tested the old version I am currently using, Remmina 0.9.99.1 runs, (as it did) but copy paste functionality has resumed.
The source for version 1 still failed to compile, that’s a bummer, but as long as i can copy and paste in a relatively new version, I’m ok with this solution. Try it if you like.
Can I transfer files alo copy paste in Remmina (or another RDP client) on 13.04 while connected to a Windows 7?
When I connect to a remote Windows 7 using as FROM a Windows 7 machine, I can copy paste files between machines. How can I enable that feature while using as FROM Ubuntu?

You can do it with FreeRDP (freerdp-x11 package) via terminal:
xfreerdp +drives /u:username /v:server_address:server_port
+drives tells FreeRDP to connect all your local drives.
If you dont have it you can install it:
sudo apt-get install freerdp-x11
would you mind if I ask what can be the reason of this problem on connection? I type xfreerdp -u dk -p ‘1234!56’ +drives example.com but it gives me the error transport_connect: getaddrinfo (Name or service not known) Error: protocol security negotiation failure
Your error can have many reasons. You can try to explicitly set protocol security other than negotiate (which is default) with switch /sec:
And you should open separate question, comments are not designed for asking another questions! You will also get more attention with separate question.
actually I thought that this comment is related to this answer, so I posted it here. In my case everything is fine after removing +drives . Could you tell me where did you get this option? Cause I do not see it in the —help prompt
sorry, you didn’t mentioned that without +drives it works. You should find official documentation here: github.com/awakecoding/FreeRDP-Manuals/blob/master/User/…
Thank you @betatester07 for this +drives hint! My hints below:
- You can also use /drive:name,mountpoint directive to provide only a given path to a remote client 🙂
- You can put all parameters into a text file (i.e. ~/client.rdp with each parameter into single line) to have your favorite configuration stored and quickly accessed:
/drive:stuff,/mnt/stuff /u:USER_NAME_HERE /v:CLIENT_IP_HERE /size:1080x1920 /f
Now you can now simply connect each time with:
Hm, with the parameter /drive:share,/mnt/share , I have the error [00:04:49:345] [8881:8881] [ERROR][com.winpr.commandline] — Failed at index 2 [/drive:share,/mnt/share]: PostFilter rule could not be applied
As a plus side, I wrote a script for the business I work for. That has a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure based on windows. I wrote it to use on Debian based thin-clients(can probably be adapted for other distros with minor changes). It adds a small GUI wizard for your connection.
Supports most common options : Options:
- -u => Set Username
- -p => Set Password
- -d => Set Domain
- -h => Set Host
- -k => Enable Persist Mode which relaunches the prompt whenever you close your connection
- -l => Enable Drives Redirection
- -v => Enable Debug Mode Input commands sent are stored in log/rdp/
- -i => Install Script as Binary
- -r => Remove Installation
- -m => Enable Multi-Monitor
- -a => Set Alternate Port

File Sharing through RDP from Linux
Step 1: Create a connection using the Remmina RDP client. For instructions on how to do this, follow our guide here:
Step 2: Check the “Share folder” box, and select the folder you would like to be accessible from the drop-down menu.
Step 3: Connect to the RDP session. From within the remote session, navigate to “This PC” within the File Explorer. The folder that you have selected will appear under the “Redirected drives and folders” section.
Step 4: Drag files to and from the drive like you would any other folder.
