Hello, you say nothing happens. Do you get an error message from NoMachine? If so, can you paste it here or submit a screenshot of what you see?

Can you tell us what version of NoMachine you have installed on your Windows host in Google Cloud?

[Britgirl]

Ok, thanks for letting us know!

[Britgirl]

I assume you have installed NoMachine (not Enterprise Client). To know the version, open the GUI, click Settings (top right), click Server Preferences (bottom of panel), click Updates (top right).

Are you trying to remove the connection file from the Recent Connections panel – see attached. Can you tell me what symbol you see associated with your connection?

Here are the instructions. We inserted a new article in the knowledge base.

From what you’ve written it doesn’t appear to be a NoMachine-related problem, and I’ll add that it’s not one that we’ve been able to reproduce.

But it seems that what you need is a different product – that’s like comparing apples and pears. How do you know your other solution is more responsive if you’ve not tried it? It’s free to download, no registration required.

NoMachine offers two product families. One for remote desktop and one for virtual desktop on Linux (i.e., terminal server on Linux functionality) and it’s the latter that you need given that what you actually want is to run Linux applications in rootless mode. I’m sorry you found an alternative for your terminal server solution. I don’t think it’s because NoMachine isn’t responsive or doesn’t fit your needs.  I think what you are looking for is a free terminal server, aimed at organizations & professionals, which is the NoMachine Workstation you are referring to 🙂

A number of projects have expressed interest in continuing open-source development of NoMachine’s legacy NX 3 software. While these projects use software released by NoMachine as open-source, NoMachine does not endorse them in any way nor has any control on the quality or the functionality of the software they distribute.

Hi, we are not aware of problems with running Firefox in NoMachine sessions and it looks more of a problem with Firefox rather than being caused by NoMachine. I checked on the fly with a few different set ups and session types and running FF was ok, as was attaching files in Gmail in the FF browser.

Can you tell us what NoMachine software is installed on the remote server and what operating system it is?

If you’ve installed a NoMachine product from the Terminal Server range, can you tell us if you selected “Create a new virtual desktop” or “Create a new custom session”  when you connected?

Hi Corvus9F, did you follow the instructions here?

https://www.nomachine.com/sharing-files-between-computers

Start your session, go to the !M on the desktop within your session (the remote deksktop) and then select ‘Download a file from the server’ or ‘Send a file to the client’.

Does this work?

Just so it’s clear to other users reading here, this new topic is about the workaround in the following topic:

It sounds like this Trouble Report:

Cannot connect an iPhone or iPad via USB forwarding from Windows to Mac

A fix is ready, it’s possible that it will make the next software update we release. Use the ‘notify me’ tool of the TR to receive notification of when a patch is available.

@fermulator, a modification can occur for any number of reasons – from a typo to the closure/implementation. This is the general rule of our KB entries (articles, docs, FR and TR). It’s an indication of freshness.

In the case of this TR, its internal status has changed, for the developers. Showing the modified date could be misleading in the case where there is no visible change to the customer. I’ll bring it up with the web team and see what improvements can be made.

As for the release date, Cato gave an indication in his last reply just above.

There was a typo in Bilbotine’s reply.

it will redirect from

https://example.com:4080

https://example.com:4443

It should be

http://example.com:4080
https://example.com:4443

 

For a working redirection of  https://example.com:4443 to https://example.com:4443/nxwebplayer?desktop, can you try this?

Edit htd.cfg and make changes from:

"
<VirtualHost 0.0.0.0:4443>
  ServerAdmin you@example.com

  SSLEngine on

  SSLProtocol All -SSLv2 -SSLv3
" 

to look like:

"
<VirtualHost 0.0.0.0:4443>
  ServerAdmin you@example.com

  RewriteEngine On

  #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\?desktop$
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/nxwebplayer?desktop$
  RewriteRule ^/?(.*)/$ /$1/nxwebplayer?desktop [L,R]

  SSLEngine on

  SSLProtocol All -SSLv2 -SSLv3
"

When making any changes in htd.cfg nxhtd has to be stopped first with:

# /etc/NX/nxserver --stop nxhtd

– and after the change restarted using:

# /etc/NX/nxserver --start nxhtd

[ paths are examples on Linux ]

Please use this TR link to check when a patch is available:

By data transfer I suppose you mean file transfer, copy and paste etc?

If so, please see the following:

Just to confirm that a patched library has been sent to both of you for testing 🙂

We’ve downloaded the file, go ahead and remove it.
