At present when I need to do my back ups for Pastel, I have to physically insert the USB into the server in our data centre which is not ideal for our work environment. My question - how do I backup from my own pc on remote desktop? Thanks Hi, we have ubuntu on our pc's at the office, but have a terminal server for the Pastel software that requires Windows.

Final solution for me was to grab a copy of Remmina which seems to be a better GUI RDP client for Ubuntu. http://remmina.sourceforge.net/ Has a PPA on Ubuntu launchpad and allows things like resizing, local printers etc. as well as VNC, SSH and SFTP sessions. Install with: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:llyzs/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install remmina Appears in the Internet section of the menu in Ubuntu. Worked very smoothly! There is also a new rdesktop fork getting some new polish and shine: http://www.freerdp.com/ Not tried that yet!

Try CTRL-ALT-ENTER in the full screen session and it will bring you back to the Ubuntu desktop underneath. CTRL-ALT-ENTER toggles between full screen and sort of full screen shifted ;-) @AUBR3Y In the Remote desktop GUI you can select Full Screen in the Display tab. With rdesktop try: rdesktop -f IP etc etc @Gianfranco

Using the Remote Desktop GUI, create a new connection to your desired Windows system complete with preferences on resolution, sound, drives, keyboards etc. NB it saves the password in plain text if you enter it, use with caution! Save the configuration as an RDP file eg: mywindowssystem.rdp Edit the RDP file in Gedit or similar text editor and look for: redirectprinters:i:0 and change it to redirectprinters:i:1 Save it and then when you double click it you will connect and you should see your local Ubuntu printer on the windows rdp session.

Replace 'name_of_the_printer' with the copied printer name. Works fine for me from Ubuntu and XP/2003/2007 Donty To paraphrase all the comments relating to printing from a Linux RDP session on a Windows machine try:

1) From a Linux command line terminal session and type:

lpq

2) Highlight and copy the preferred listed printer name from the output of lpq command.

3) Still using the terminal session type:

rdesktop IP -r printer:name_of_the_printer

'IP ' is the address of the target windows system.
Replace 'name_of_the_printer' with the copied printer name.

Works fine for me from Ubuntu and XP/2003/2007

Is there a way to switch between full-screen and in-window mode while connected?

It seems that if you started a session in full-screen, there is no way to minimize the terminal client window unless you disconnect from the server…
