Hi Guys,
For remote applications through RDS (for example firewall session ),What is the best practice /method to use uploading files from user PC ? Further If the user need to copy downloaded files from web application (through RDS) to the user device, what is the best method ?
Hi AmilaK!
I would say that the same best practices would apply as when connecting without Password Safe but with a few considerations.
If the session is a full desktop, then users can copy and paste files between the session and their ‘physical’ desktop. Be aware that the comms are over the RDP channel and don’t always play nicely with big files.
For published application sessions where only the application is presented, then much depends on the application. In your example of a Firewall admin UI where you might want to upload certificate files etc., you will most likely be presented with an open file dialogue at some point. The filesystem you see in the dialogue is that of the browser running remotely but you should be able to copy and paste a file from the local desktop into the dialogue.
Alternatively your user could connect directly to a file share from the browsers rdp session but ensuring that the account that started the session (functional account, managed account etc..) has permission to read or write from the share might be complicated. You may also need to open ports for SMB to do this.
Yes, you could apply a GPO to an OU that the user is in.
