Session disconnects when copying over forwarded disks and CoRD window loses focus #60

When I connect to a windows 7 machine and I am using disk forwarding, while a copy is in progress, if I click out of the CoRD window, the CoRD session closes abruptly.

Obvious impact, when copying large data sets, I have to sit and watch the file transfer, which should not have to happen.

Specifically, this occurs when the Windows7 machine is running VMWare vSphere client and I am importing an OVA from my local OSX machine to ESX via a virtual Windows7 system.

Found in CoRD Version 0.5.7 (5701)

I too have experienced this problem. I have resorted to working around it, given that the problem most likely lies inside rdesktop's crappy reverse-engineered file sharing extension. I usually use CIFS shares (admin shares in our env usually) to push the OVA to the machine running vsphere, or to a file server both can access. It sucks, but until we get to replace rdesktop with freerdp, it seems pointless to sink time into trying to fix the dead/abandoned code that is rdesktop.
