Hello,

We are trying to upload a remote desktop protocol file (RDP) that points a specific machine in our server room.  When I try to upload the RDP file, I get an invalid file extension error.   This is a screen grab of the RDP file on my desktop:   

I would like to make a web link that opens this RDP file so our students can access a remote workstation.

Thanks John

Hello John,

This can expose a potential security risk in that the file can be indexable and visible to anyone in the net should they we to be able to access the URL. We’d recommend reaching to Information Security to see if this is something they’d be ok with. For more info please reach out Tom Castiello.
