Mremoteng: RDP: Select which drives to redirect

[EdoaLive]

Hello,
First of all, my compliments for your software. It's quite difficult to find on google, but it's very complete and works nicely.

This feature request is very old, as I found it in a 2010 post in your old forum: http://forum.mremoteng.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=95 so maybe it has already been implemented but I couldn't find it.
The function should be quite simple: in addition to select 'Yes' or 'No' to 'Disk Drives' in 'Redirect' connection config menu, it would be nice to select which drives (windows drive letters).
Alternatively you can "inherit" a rdp configuration files, like in SSH protocol, we "inherit" a putty configuration.

Thanks for your efforts!

I agree with this completely. I used mRemote years ago, and I just tried mRemoteNG since I use a lot of RDP connections. Not being able to select only some drives was the first thing I noticed. I'm a network administrator. I have tons of network drives. When I RDP into servers on my own network, I already have those same drives present on the host server (auto-mapped via Group Policy). The only other drive I want to connect back to is my local C drive (\tsclient\c). I could turn of all drives via the connection, and then manually map back to my machine's C drive, but I don't want to have to do it each time, and I'd rather not leave it mapped persistently. In native Remote Desktop, I can choose to bring over just that one drive, my C drive.

In mRemoteNG, turning on all drives means I then have all of the same mapped drives listed twice on the host machine. That doesn't really affect the connection - but it seriously clutters up Windows Explorer. However, if I RDP to a server across the WAN/Internet, I might still need my local C drive, but I _certainly_ don't want ALL of my drives to be available in that case. If I recall correctly, that can slow down the connection a lot.

I realize the program supports other protocols, and seems to have some very nice features. But for managing my RDP connections, this one simple non-feature is a deal breaker for me. So I'll continue to just use native RDP for now.

FWIW I'd like to add my request for this enhancement. If I'm connecting to a low bandwidth remote site I find myself reverting back to running RDP directly so I can limit to only one drive being shared. I find Explorer to be quite slow when you have a lot of drives redirected and the connection is slow.

BTW - Thanks for keeping this project alive. I've been a fan since mRemote.

I would also like this feature. When using Explorer on the remote system, it takes forever to display My Computer because it has to interrogate all of my local drives. I would really only want one or two of them connected.

Bump

I've scheduled other RDP work for v1.77, so this would fit in nicely

[gerootech]

is this feature still scheduled for 1.77 ??

@gerootech Yes, unfortunately most of the devs have not had much time to work on the project lately.
