I am not able to get the basic Shared Folder capability to run.
Debian 7 Linux OS on client and server, X2go V 4.0.3.0, and XFCE Desktop.
Is there something fundamental preventing this from working?
Thanks in advance,
I have a similar problem with Ubuntu 15.04. In my case, the desktop bindings do not work, using the XFCE desktop, i.e. being able to share the local desktop of the workstation from where a user starts an x2go session.
Is that the problem you mean?
I tried several different desktops and installed the desktop binding packages from the x2go website, but no go. Have asked earlier in this forum with no answer.
Did you find a solution to your problem?

I have had success with Debian to Debian shared folders,
now we have users who would like to share Windows folders using X2go, to a Debian 8 system.
X2go client running on a Windows laptop, connecting to Debian 8 server.
I am not at all sure how the file path mapping will work, or where to look on the Debian server for this shared
C:\Users\... folder.
Where would I expect to see the Windows folder that I am sharing ?
Is there a special configuration to set up the Windows-to-Linux filename translation?
Thanks for your expertise,

Karl,
just a heads-up: There seems to be a bug in X2GoClient 4.0.5.2 for Windows that keeps Print and File Sharing from working in some cases.
So if you're seeing issues with it, I would suggest falling back to 4.0.5.1 or waiting for the 4.1.0.0 release, which is due in a few weeks.
Kind Regards, Stefan Baur

Thanks for the quick reply Stefan,
My Windows 7 is running X2Go Client v 4.0.5.0 (Qt - 4.8.6)
I am taking the defaults in Shared Folders (did not check the Automount box,
or the Filename Encoding box.
Where will I expect to find the shared C:\Users\Karl ... Windows folder I am sharing on the Linux side?
My Windows laptop has a single-user authentication, whereas we use LDAP on Linux, is this a potential problem?
Thank you again !

Well, if you don't check the automount box - nowhere until you mount them? How you mount them manually depends on what checkboxes you checked under Options/Settings/General.
1a) If you set X2GoClient to minimize into the system tray, then you right-click that icon, select the session name, then "Share folder ...".
1b) If, instead, you have the X2GoClient window on your screen even with an active connection, click on the small folder icon, that's the left of the three icons "Folder, Pause, Power".
From there, the steps are the same again for both variants.
If you either performed these steps or had the automount box checked, your mountpoint will be somewhere under ~/media/disk/, with a name starting with _cygdrive_.
My Windows laptop has a single-user authentication, whereas we use LDAP on Linux, is this a potential problem?
I do not believe so. The mount is performed by FUSE through a tunneled SSH connection, with the Cygwin SSHD spawning on your client, so it's your server connecting back to the client, using a temporary SSH key pair, so there's no exchange of your individual password involved.
I'll try to come up with a HowTo with a few screenshots, but at present, my only Windows machine that has a US-English GUI is busy spinning its hourglass over the Windows Update window ... which is not surprising, as this was the first time since Mid-2014 that I powered it up.
