One thing I've been longing for, is the possibility of scanning on the remote server using a scanner connected to the client. I noticed that 2X now supports this. Is it possible using x2go, or will it be possible in the future? Do you only implement stuff that can be done on all platforms, or will you make it possible using ubuntu clients even if it's not easily done for windows clients? <snip> That's interesting. I would think to enable scanning from the physical desktop directly to the virtual desktop, i.e., from client to server, one would have to expose the server's file system to the client (as opposed to the current file sharing which exposes the client's file system to the server). That would have some very serious security issues I think. One of the advantages of X2Go we are selling to our clients is the isolation of the virtual desktop from the physical thus

The way we do this now is an awkward, two step process of creating a local share, scanning to that local share from the physical desktop, and then moving the file from the share on the virtual desktop to wherever we want it in the virtual desktop file system - John
