I have finally been able to create some screenshots and upload them to
the Wiki.

Please try following the instructions here:
<http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:howto:x2goclient-file-sharing>

and compare if you did anything differently.

That is no X2Go error message, but one stemming from SSHFS/FUSE (the
mechanism we use in the background to mount the share) - on the Linux
Server.
Googling for it returns suggestions to force-unmount the directory, as
there might be something left "dangling" from a previous
failed/partially unsuccessful mount, see e.g. here:
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24966676/transport-endpoint-is-not-connected>

If you want to follow that suggestion, I would make sure that you do not
have any active nor suspended X2Go sessions on the server, then ssh in
and "fusermount -uz /PATHHERE" any directories that show up as
SSHFS/FUSE mounts for your user. Maybe remove the ~/mounts symlink as
well, if it's still there. Then log in again using X2Go and see what
happens.
Of course, it might also be a misconfiguration in your session settings
(that's why I suggest comparing it to what's in the wiki above), a bug
in X2GoClient 4.0.5.0 or in the SSHFS/FUSE packages on your server ...

No.  The X2GoClient Windows installer is self-sufficient save for the
Client-Side Printing Feature, which currently requires installing a
separate PDF viewer. (See bugs
http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=738 and
http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=740 for suggestions on
how to address that, if it interests you.)

You might want to consider upgrading to 4.0.5.1 (not 4.0.5.2, though),
as that's the version I used for creating the screenshots and
documentation, so it's known to work, or to 4.1.0.0, once it becomes
available.
