When I connect to a remote Windows 7 using as FROM a Windows 7 machine, I can copy paste files between machines. How can I enable that feature while using as FROM Ubuntu?

You can do it with FreeRDP (freerdp-x11 package) via terminal:
xfreerdp +drives /u:username /v:server_address:server_port
+drives tells FreeRDP to connect all your local drives.
If you dont have it you can install it:
sudo apt-get install freerdp-x11

2would you mind if I ask what can be the reason of this problem on connection? I type
xfreerdp -u dk -p '1234!56' +drives example.com
but it gives me the errortransport_connect: getaddrinfo (Name or service not known) Error: protocol security negotiation failure

Your error can have many reasons. You can try to explicitly set protocol security other than negotiate (which is default) with switch
/sec:<rdp|tls|nla|ext> force specific protocol security
. You can also look at this question askubuntu.com/questions/157723/…, even if it seems it is not directly related to your problem Mar 26, 2014 at 10:45 -
And you should open separate question, comments are not designed for asking another questions! You will also get more attention with separate question. Mar 26, 2014 at 10:46

1actually I thought that this comment is related to this answer, so I posted it here. In my case everything is fine after removing
+drives
. Could you tell me where did you get this option? Cause I do not see it in the--help

1sorry, you didn't mentioned that without
+drives
it works. You should find official documentation here: github.com/awakecoding/FreeRDP-Manuals/blob/master/User/… Mar 26, 2014 at 15:30
Thank you @betatester07 for this +drives
hint! My hints below:
- You can also use
/drive:name,mountpoint
directive to provide only a given path to a remote client :-) - You can put all parameters into a text file (i.e.
~/client.rdp
with each parameter into single line) to have your favorite configuration stored and quickly accessed:
/drive:stuff,/mnt/stuff
/u:USER_NAME_HERE
/v:CLIENT_IP_HERE
/size:1080x1920
/f
Now you can now simply connect each time with:
xfreerdp ~/client.rdp
Tested on FreeBSD :-)

Hm, with the parameter
/drive:share,/mnt/share
, I have the error[00:04:49:345] [8881:8881] [ERROR][com.winpr.commandline] - Failed at index 2 [/drive:share,/mnt/share]: PostFilter rule could not be applied

As a plus side, I wrote a script for the business I work for. That has a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure based on windows. I wrote it to use on Debian based thin-clients(can probably be adapted for other distros with minor changes). It adds a small GUI wizard for your connection.
Supports most common options : Options:
- -u => Set Username
- -p => Set Password
- -d => Set Domain
- -h => Set Host
- -k => Enable Persist Mode which relaunches the prompt whenever you close your connection
- -l => Enable Drives Redirection
- -v => Enable Debug Mode Input commands sent are stored in log/rdp/
- -i => Install Script as Binary
- -r => Remove Installation
- -m => Enable Multi-Monitor
- -a => Set Alternate Port
