JumpServer RDP: session logs and transfering files

Updated: Feb 22

We'll test the RDP connection to see if file transfer and clipboard features are really blocked. We'll also check how session logging works.

Why am I doing this? After years of working with different Privileged Access Management (PAM) systems, I've noticed that the documentation and features often don't match how the control of different types of connections actually works in PAM.


Theare two ways to start RDP session in JumpServer: RDP in WebUI and Native Client(only Enterprise Edition).


You can see results in this table:

Also I can use Drag&Drop to RDP session and my file will appear in special virtual disk:
