File copy and reception
Learn how to transfer files from your local desktop to remote clients
Starting with version 0.7.0 it's possible to upload files directly to remote clients and store them anywhere on the remote file system.
Prerequisites
Both, the server and the clients must run at least version 0.7.0 of Rport to use the file copy function. Updating all your clients is not necessary as long as you don't want to use this feature on them.
File reception is enabled by default on the rport client. If you consider it insecure, turn it off in the rport.conf
file.
[file-reception]
enabled = false
Pay attention to the optional filters that can be used to exclude folders from write access. By default, files cannot be coped to most OS-critical folders. Extend the filters according to your needs.
šµ On Linux, a sudo rules is needed and created by default to allow changing the owner and mode of a file. Review and/or delete /etc/sudoers.d/rport-filereception
if it conflicts with your security policies.
Transfer files
Once a client allows file reception, click on the
Files
tab.Select a local file.
Specify where the file should be store remotely. š You must enter a full path, not a folder.
On Linux, you can also specify the owner and mode of the file.
