This is not a question specifically about XRDP, but about RDP itself. It seems that I can share a full drive with the remote. But in my opinion, people would be more interested in sharing a directory rather than a full drive. So, why does RDP only allow a drive, not a directory? |

I use xfreerdp to access Ubuntu linux desktop systems that have xrdp installed and I know at least that lets you specify just a directory if thats all I want. Example:
In the above when I log into that ubuntu/xrdp installed system my local directory named "my-shared_dir" is shared with the remote ubuntu system and I can copy files to/from that directory. I'm not sharing the whole "local" drive. brian |

On Windows, only a drive is selectable. So, I guess that it is not in the protocol, but just the MS client's limitation. https://cat.pdx.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/RDP_Folder_Sharing_Windows_2-400x333.png |

Freerdp is available for Windows, Mac - Linux and I've seen lots of windows users use Freerdp for their RDP connectivity needs. Look here to get the Windows version: |
