rdesktop-vrdp client - where is it?

[andh]

In chapter 7.1.4 of the manual is mentioned the above client. As i understand it is necassary for remote usb but i can t find it.

VirtualBox does not supply the actual client. If you use Linux you install rdesktop if it is not already installed and if you use Windows you use the remote desktop client that comes with it.

On Linux rdesktop-vrdp is a part of VirtualBox. It is in /usr/bin on my RHEL 6.7

FWIW, rdesktop-vrdp is not installed in Fedora 23. The only one I've looked at so far.

Very true but is that a client or the server?

[andh]

manual:
Accessing remote USB devices is only possible if the RDP client supports this extension.
On Linux and Solaris hosts, the VirtualBox installation provides a suitable VRDP client called
rdesktop-vrdp.

Thats confusing. Why does the Installation provides the client? if it provides it anyway.

Running a windows host and accessing a windows guest via a remote client, that has to be linux client with vrdp should work.

So a full VBox Installation is needed only for the vrdp client?

in debian as well

It is the client.

wired not providing the package alone.

I found an issue that was causing the rdesktop-vrdp to not build on my setup and it now produces the client and works as advertised.

Now what does the following produce from the hosts terminal/command windows?

• rdesktop-vrdp
