Hello everyone, I wanted to ask for your kind help please. There is a tool that I use to work that is a password vault. Every time I want to connect to a Windows server by RDP, an .rdp file is generated that contains the ip of the server, the user and a random password. I have seen that if I import to remminate the .rdp and I open it with the rdesktop plugin it opens but with error. However when I try with the freerdp plugin it does not even open it.
I have tried to open it with the command remmina -c Directory/file.rdp however I receive the error "plugin rdekstop is not registered" and in another window I also receive the error "File file.rdp is corrupted, unreadable or not found". Have you presented a similar problem?

Hi 

Actually you should check the encoding of the file and verify the content. It seems the plugin is not able to load it. Is it in some UTF or windows encoding (your vault tool is windows?). Could you post the .rdp file (don't forget to anonimize it, espacially ip and account but by not changing encoding)
Good luck
