Cannot see shared folder in Windows Server 2012 connecting with Remmina in Ubuntu

Question

I connect from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS via VirtualBox, then from Ubuntu I connect to Windows Server 2012 via Remmina.

I've configured Remmina to connect with shared folder but I don't know how to see that shared folder in Windows Server 2012, maybe adding a network location, but when I'm asked for the network address I don't know what I have to write.

Is this way correct? What did I miss?

Answer 1

Well, I really don't understand why, but if you configure in remmina sound to "local" (on advance configuration), it works.

Answer 2

The versions of Remmina and the FreeRDP library it relies on that come with Ubuntu 14.04 are a bit outdated now. Thankfully there's a PPA for the latest Remmina which makes updating quite easy:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:remmina-ppa-team/remmina-next
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libfreerdp-plugins-standard remmina remmina-plugin-rdp

After updating make sure you fully close any running copies of Remmina by selecting Quit from the tray icon, and then reopen it.
