Secure Global Desktop Administration Guide > Applications, documents and hosts > Configuring client drive mapping on non-Windows clients
Secure Global Desktop allows you map the file system on non-Windows clients as re-directed drives in a Windows Terminal Services session. You can use this client drive mapping with:
Once client drive mapping has been enabled on the Secure Global Desktop server, users can configure which drives they want to use in their Windows Terminal Services sessions. They do this by editing the $HOME/.tarantella/native-cdm-config file. This file is automatically created when the Sun Secure Global Desktop Client/Native Client is installed.
The configuration file contains entries with the form <path> <type> <label> where:
<path> is the absolute path name of the client drive;<type> is either unknown, fixed, floppy, cdrom or remote; and<label> is the name that will be used for the drive in the Windows Terminal Services session.Use a separate line for each drive and separate each of the fields with a space or a tab. If either the <path> or the <label> fields contains spaces or tabs, enclose the field in quotes.
You can use environment variables in the <path> or <label> fields. You delimit these with a dollar sign ($). To use a literal $, escape it with another $.
The configuration file contains detailed instructions for users on how to create mapped drives.
The default configuration maps the user's home directory to a drive called "My Home".
Changes to the configuration file only take effect when you next log in to Secure Global Desktop.
