Tunnel through xrdp server

Fidel Perez-Smith edited this page Nov 9, 2025 · 2 revisions

Summary

xrdp server allows access to the client's files using the ~/thinclient_drives share. By using that share for a File Tunnel, you can route traffic between the local and remotes hosts.


Host A

ft.exe --write "C:\Temp\1.dat" --read "C:\Temp\2.dat" -L 5000:192.168.1.50:8888

Run an RDP client and ensure local drives are shared as shown here.

RDP to Host B.


Host B

./ft -r "~/thinclient_drives/C:/Temp/1.dat" -w "~/thinclient_drives/C:/Temp/2.dat"

Now on Host A, you can connect to 127.0.0.1:5000 and it will be forwarded to 192.168.1.50:8888
