option for sharing the network drive

Post by ali-nl » Sun Nov 05, 2017 8:04 am

Hello,

I have installed this nice software. But have some questions about the functionality.

1) is it possible to publish applications without to offer rdp sessions?

2) i am looking voor a functionality to offer data shares localy on the remote client..

Some off our users using autocad at home, but want to acces the data on the office. There is no vpn functionality on the router. Is this possible? do you support clouddisk kind a functionality?

hope to hear from you.

Hello,

1) TSplus is RDP based so the answer is no.

2) You can publish a mapped drive either with a shortcut of the mapped drive that you copy in the desktop folder of the user profile. Doing so, the shortcut will be present on the desktop of the remote user and in the remote taskbar if you plan on using it. More information about the remote taskbar can be found here : http://www.terminalserviceplus.com/docs ... ting-panel

You can also publish this shared folder using the folder application, more information about this can be found here : http://www.terminalserviceplus.com/docs/folder

If your goal is to publish the content of a folder with an exclusive access to each users then follow this procedure :

http://support.tsplus.net/kb/faq.php?id=25
and in the generated script type in the path of your application subst Y: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\your folder

Doing so your user will be able to have access to this drive letter Y:, which will be pointing to their exclusive profile folder. Of course this is only an example.
If you would prefer to redirect their local "My documents" folder or any other specific folder then type in :

subst Y: \\tsclient\c\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents

The final step is to publish an application that will secure the Y: of each users, preventing them from accessing the whole server. To do so, open an admin tool, go to the application tile and click on "Application publishing". Add the folder application located in C:\Program Files (x86)\TSplus\UserDesktop\files.
In the command line option, set the path of your application (Y: in the example above). The last step is to publish this application to your users / groups. Doing so your users will only have access to the content of this folder.
