File sharing does not work with Windows 2012 Server

[israelBelV]

Hello,
I am trying to share folders with Windows 2012 Server. I have configured the forwarding preference with "Only forward these disk paths:" checked, also I have some path added.

With all this, the folders does not appear in computer folder.

Regards.

Same here. Native rdesktop client seems to have this problem too.

UPDATE: Turns out that this is an expected behavior with the new version of the [MS-RDPEFS] extension.
From http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc669276.aspx:

"<1> Section 2.1: In Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2, the client MUST advertise the static virtual channel named "RDPSND", as defined in [MS-RDPEA]. If that channel is not advertised, the server will not issue any communication on the "RDPDR" channel."

So we have to have sound forwarding to get disk support? Lame.

I read it as we have it announce sound forwarding. Whether or not it actually exists is something else. :). Either way that's probably too deep in the rdesktop nightmare for me to tackle.

Nope :)


I delved into rdesktop and now it seems to work! Committing soon.

I can't see shared drives too, tsclient does display but "Shared" folder don't work. My rdesktop is 1.8.2. I see your fix code, but i don't know how to apply it. What do i have to donwload or update to get that fix? Thanks.
