I would love to see mimebox included in x2goclient. I know we had planned to write a "multimedia player" to automatically redirect to mimebox similar to the way printing works<snip>
If this ever happens, please make sure that it's a server-side feature that can be turned on or off e.g. by group membership or by some sort of config file option, preferably separate from printing.
There is a degree of security involved here - if it's too easy for a user to pass files between host and client, or if this even happens automatically behind the user's back, bad (TM) things can happen.
I prefer it the way that a user has to willingly and knowingly decide that a file is to be transferred between host and client.
While I do see that there are usage scenarios where security isn't an issue and such a mimebox/multimedia player thing might be neat, please leave the decision to the server administrator and not the user.
