I am trying to mount my local folder to a remote desktop using Remmina. I am not able to do it and I have searched a lot over the web. Can anyone guide how to share the files on my local folder to the remote desktop and vice versa?
First of all, check the version of Remmina which you have. It should be above '1.2.1' version or use 'remmina-next'. To upgrade your Remmina to remmina-next, open terminal and write the following commands.
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:remmina-ppa-team/remmina-next
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libfreerdp-plugins-standard remmina remmina-plugin-rdp
After this, the new version of remmina-next will be installed.
Next step will be to go to terminal and type cd .config/remmina/
Then open the configuration file and edit it by typing sudo vi remmina.pref on the command line
The configuration file will be opened. Search for sharefolder under [remmina]
header.
Against the sharefolder, give the path of the folder you want to share with the remote desktop.
That’s it! You should be able to access the specified folder in your Windows VM
The folder will be shown in Windows remote desktop as one of the path/icon along with other locations. (like C drive)
