Do you mean file transfer or copy and paste? They are two different things 🙂
Copy and paste works out of the box, both ways.
Files can also be copied using drag and drop. When using this method, they are dropped on to the ‘other desktop’.
For file transfer see here: https://www.nomachine.com/sharing-files-between-computers
If you want to access files by being able to browse disks from the ‘other computer’, please see: https://www.nomachine.com/accessing-files-on-local-or-remote-disk-drives
Hi Alex, can you check your email inbox? I’ve just sent you the verbose version for debugging with instructions. Thanks!
Hi, we are not able to reproduce this issue. We’d need to see the logs from the Windows computer if possible. Can you send them to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com. Instructions on how to find them are here: https://www.nomachine.com/AR10K00697
Hi, on your Linux VM it depends what you want from NoMachine 🙂 You can install either the free version or Enterprise Desktop (compare here: https://www.nomachine.com/remote-access-for-your-needs), either of these allow access to the physical display and support HW encoding.
To access the host where you’ve installed any of these mentioned above, you need to install either NoMachine, the free package, as it also includes what you need to be able to connect; or you can install Enterprise Client. More about this is here: https://www.nomachine.com/product&p=NoMachine%20Enterprise%20Client.
Further information about H.264 hardware encoding is available here: https://www.nomachine.com/AR10K00706
it would be nice if the iPhone can be used as an external trackpad.
Nice idea. Maybe we can open a Feature Request 😉
🙂 thanks for showing us your appreciation. Our developers added significant performance improvements for high bandwidth networks, specifically in the adaptive frame rate algorithms – you can see the list of implementations here: https://www.nomachine.com/SU10P00200.
The best thing to do would be to update to the latest version, 6.4.6. You are using a much earlier version which in theory is only available to customers with subscriptions from their customer area which makes me think you would be better opening a support ticket if you can.
If neither of those options are possible, send the logs directly to forum[at]nomachine[com].
Hi, If computers are in the same LAN, NoMachine will discover them automatically and show them in the Connection GUI on the connecting client.
If the IP addresses of the computers being accessed are constantly changing, then what you are going to need is NoMachine Network. This is an upcoming functionality, you can read more about it here: https://www.nomachine.com/FR07J02731
If you can explain better what you need to do exactly, we can point you to the right place on our website 🙂
Besides the NoMachine compression protocol, which is not public anymore, since version 4, there is not a single NoMachine API, but many different pieces: NoMachine server, the node, the player, which interact with each other using the NoMachine libnx core.
Additionally, the server offers a “pluggable scripts” interface which lets programmers add their own extensions to the server, so that their custom functions are executed before, during and after each session startup and shutdown.
This server interface is described in the document “NoMachine Enterprise Products – Server Guide”, which you can find here: https://www.nomachine.com/DT07M00090, in section 9.
It’s also possible to run the nxplayer from the command line and customize the session file (NXS configuration). More about this is here: https://www.nomachine.com/AR04O00923
If this documentation is not enough, don’t hesitate to explain what you’d like to achieve.
We were able to reproduce the issue you’re encountering and have opened a Trouble Report. There is a workaround available. Please sign up to receive notification of a fix when it becomes available. https://www.nomachine.com/TR12P09044
NoMachine doesn’t install video drivers and doesn’t mess with frameworks. At the most, it could have triggered a problem by changing desktop resolution. But this is done using standard system APIs in a conventional way. That said, we have not been able to reproduce this very unusual behaviour with the latest version so far (both sides).
There is a Trouble Report open for this particular issue. You can follow it here: https://www.nomachine.com/TR12P09040.
NoMachine does not let you run multiple Windows desktops on the same host. What you want to achieve is something that used to be called Windows Terminal Services and is now called Remote Desktop Services.
If multiple users connect with their own login to the remote Windows host where you have installed NoMachine, they will all share/view the same physical desktop.
If you’re looking for a replacement of a Windows Terminal Server, I’ll answer something similar to what I wrote here: https://forums.nomachine.com/topic/windows-terminal-server-replacement-options#post-13496.
Our software can’t completely replace a Windows Terminal Server computer or make any Windows computer become a Terminal Server. Technical considerations apart, this would be in violation of the Windows licensing terms.
There are two ways for different users to get access to multiple Windows desktop environments on the same Windows server and all the applications available on them. You can either create multiple Windows instances virtualized on top of popular hypervisors like KVM, VirtualBox or VMware etc, then install NoMachine or NoMachine Enterprise Desktop on each instance. This will give each user access to their own account.
Alternatively, many of our customers which have mixed environments (i.e they want Linux applications as well as Windows) take advantage of the support for RDP which is available in Terminal Server for Linux. You can keep your RDS backend (you will still need the MS CALs in place) and the NoMachine Terminal Server acts as a ‘gateway’ which will take care of forwarding the client’ requests to the Windows server on the backend. The RDP sessions are essentially encapsulated inside NoMachine virtual Linux sessions.
