FreeRDP-RemoteApp-IntegrationScripts README

Following through from the article I wrote here: http://www.daball.me/2011/11/windows-meet-linux-linux-meet-remoteapp.html

I devised the following integration script installer.

The following packages contains RemoteApp integration scripts intended for use with FreeRDP and Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop Services RemoteApp.

In order to use these scripts, you will need:

1. Windows Server 2008 or 2008 R2 with Terminal Services and RemoteApp licensed.
2. One or more Linux FreeRDP client(s)

Getting Source

mkdir $HOME/src cd $HOME/src git clone https://github.com/daball/FreeRDP-RemoteApp-IntegrationScripts.git cd FreeRDP-RemoteApp-IntegrationScripts

Installing FreeRDP, the easy way (outdated?)

./install-freerdp-current.sh

Installing Integration Scripts

./install-scripts.sh

Using FreeRDP

This is well beyond the intentions here. Try:

man xfreerdp

Customizing Integration Script

Before you can use this script, you must edit it.

gedit $HOME/bin/remoteapp nano $HOME/bin/remoteapp

Using Integration Scripts

The remoteapp script can be called like so:

For RemoteApp executables: $HOME/bin/remoteapp 'notepad.exe'

For RemoteApp aliases: $HOME/bin/remoteapp '||notepad'

I have also devised a way to open local files at the remote host in the command-line.

For RemoteApp aliases: $HOME/bin/remoteapp '||notepad' --convert-linux-path "./README"

So now, for example, you can integrate a program into the GNOME menu just the same way.

$HOME/bin/remoteapp '||notepad' --convert-linux-path "%U"

Enjoy!
