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Installing FreeRDP, the easy way (outdated?)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!
