Drag and drop with Linux's "rdesktop"?

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

On my Linux clients who are using "rdesktop" to connect
to my terminal server, is there a way to "drag and drop"
files between my local linux client and my terminal
server? Any other way to copy between desktops?

Many thanks,
-T

Got this answered over on rdesktop-users mailing list:

As far as I know, you cannot drag and drop between desktops.
However you can use the '-r' option to map any area in your
filesystem to a " windows network drive". eg.

rdesktop -r disk:remotedisk=

will redirect /home/me/Documents to a windows network share
called remotedisk, which you can access by clicking on
"My Computer" icon.

I fired it up on mine and it works perfectly. Apparently,
rdesktop is used the same way on Apple too.
