You are right, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the settings of the individual
RDP connection set up in Guacamole.
In Drive name I put
${GUAC_USERNAME}
In Drive Path:
/drive/${GUAC_USERNAME}
Where /drive/ is the folder set as the shared drive in the guacamole server.
1. if you set up the RDP connection like me, you will obtain a user separation,
if you set the drive path the same for all connections, all users will see the
same content in the " Guacamole Filesystem on Guacamole RDP " network drive in
all servers.
2. in the /drive/ shared directory in the linux system you need to grant read
and write access to the user running guacd and guacamole client (both) if I
remember well. But I'm sure this information was already mentioned in another
mailing list message. In my case the user is the same, so it is easy to do :-)
I hope this is all clear now! Sorry for the incomplete information.

Oggetto: Re: R: Transfer Files over RDP
Hello Lorenzo,
Thank you for explaining.
When connecting to linux system via Guacamole using ssh, we simply enable sftp
transfer and specify File browser root directory: path. and all transferred
files are stored on target system.
I assumed the same is applicable when transferring files over RDP on Windows
and the transferred files will be available when accessing the target system
directly without using Guacamole.
On Guacamole Edit connection --> Device Redirection --> Enable drive: enabled,
and Drive path = no value , Windows target system show root folder of
guacamole server as shared drive name "Guacamole Filesystem on Guacamole RDP".
!!!!.
And on Windows, shared folder name is "Guacamole Filesystem on Guacamole RDP"
unless "Drive name" is specified in Device Redirection.
1, Since there is no <username> on shared drive name (on windows, i'm logged in
as local administrator), will shared folder contents be accessible across all
windows systems by this user when connecting thru guacamole with drive
redirection configured ?.
2, on Linux system running Guacamole, who should be the owner for shared folder
path. e.g. "/var/guacamole/shared-drive" ?. The current owner is root.
Thanks,

Hello,
RDP file transfer works like this:
when you use Guacamole web client to upload files to a Windows machine you will
find that there is only one folder into the Shared drive.
This folder corresponds to a subdir with the name of the user connected to
Guacamole, that Guacamole creates automatically inside the directory specified
in configuration as shared drive.
When you go into the Windows machine in Guacamole, you can find a mapped shared
drive into File Explorer, you can see that it is named “<username> on Guacamole
RDP”.
Inside this mapped drive you can find the files you uploaded before. And this
works also in the opposite way.
The content of this shared drive is the same for all windows machines used by
the same user, as it is the same directory in the Guacamole server that is
mapped to the current connection.
I hope this answers your question.
Regards
Lorenzo
