Dear All,

first of all: great software, we (a small educational organisation for trade union members) have been working with it for years.

TL;DR: shared folders do not work, when I use the GUI to mount a share directory ~/media/disk/SHARE-NAME remains empty.

Our Setup:

• x2goserver on a computer behind a rounter with portforwarding and dyndns
• x2goclient on a computer behind another router
• both debian stable

The connection from x2goclient to x2goserver works (I mean: I get my remote desktop and work there), but when I want to use/mount a shared folder, nothing happens. I mean: If I want to access a folder on the x2goclient via the x2go function “shared folders” from the x2goserver, the directory ~/media/disk/SHARE-NAME remains empty.

When I trigger the release in the GUI of x2goclient, the logs say:

I then tried to reach the client from the x2goserver via SSH through the SSH tunnel that was set up:

serveruser@x2goserver:~$ ssh clientuser@127.0.0.1 -p 53200 -i /home/serveruser/.x2go/ssh/key.cicFLi Warning: Identity file /home/serveruser/.x2go/ssh/key.WEIIYY not accessible: No such file or directory. clientuser@127.0.0.1's password:

This generates a message in the x2goclient log -- so the tunnel back to the client has been set up, but the temporary SSH key is no longer available. A login with the password of clientuser is not possible.

x2go's sshd on x2goclient is running:

clientuser@x2goclient:~$ px aux | grep sshd clientuser 237626 0.0 0.0 15680 9496 pts/6 S+ Nov05 0:00 sshd: /usr/sbin/sshd -f /home/clientuser/.x2go/etc/sshd_config -h /home/clientuser/.x2go/etc/ssh_host_rsa_key -D -p 7022 [listener] 0 of 10-100 startups

The specific sshd_config looks like this:

StrictModes no UsePrivilegeSeparation no PidFile "/home/clientuser/.x2go/var/sshd.pid" AuthorizedKeysFile "/home/clientuser/.x2go/.ssh/authorized_keys" Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server

Any idea what I could try next?
