I've a requirement to save a text file from the citrix session to the client machine. So the published machine runs an executable and that executable 'knows' where the client machine is and can save the text file onto it.
I've tried to save it using the equivalent of \tsclient share as outlined in this pretty old article. I couldn't get it to work - the published executable couldn't see the filepath back to the client.
Failing this a programmatic solution would be good - we own the published executable so we can amend it.
Many thanks for any / all help
EDIT
Just to emphasize- I don't expect anyone to write this code for me, but some pointers to how it would be possible with decent references would be extremely helpful.

I am struggling to transfer a file from my hard disk to Magnolia server which is provided by my university. I have posted about the problem here. Someone suggest me to go through this link.
I add PuTTY in my path. Then I opened cmd and did the same thing as suggested on the above link. The file that I want to transfer to the magnolia cluster is a C file, named as mpi_hello.c. I have to transfer the the file inside csc510/mpi. csc510 folder is on the server and inside csc510 there is another folder mpi which is also in the magnolia server. I can show this two folder when I log in to the magnolia.
As the post suggested I typed pscp mpi_hello.c#magnolia.universityname.edu:csc510/mpi/mpi_hello.c
I got the result which shown below
Also nothing transferred to the csc510/mpi directory of magnolia cluster. How can I transfer the file from hard disk to magnolia server?
Thank you.
I'm running into some issues with my existing powershell script that copies data from a remote location into a local folder - that local folder also happens to be sync'd with google drive for desktop.
I'm seeing incomplete files being uploaded etc. In order to combat this I think it would be easier/better to change where the initial remote > local is putting its files, and instead of copying directly into the sync folder - copy into a temp/staging location that's NOT the sync folder.
Once that process is complete then use the powershell move-cmd to simply 'move' which will just update file locators to be that of the sync folder.
I think this will solve my issue.
Anyone see any problems with this approach?
If you have ruled out device connectivity, multiple files being uploaded at once vs. a single file being uploaded, and mobile device app or internet browser there is nothing wrong with your approach. If you need anymore assistance please reply to this thread or mark this as the answer.
I recently opted to start using Visual Studio Code. I want to connect to a remote server and edit files directly on the server. FTP-Simple seems like a great solution. But I am having a hard time understanding some basics about the program.
If I make a connection to a server, does FTP-Simple download all the actual files to my hard drive?
Also, I was able to make a connection, but in one of the directories there should be a sub-directory and it's missing. What am I doing wrong?
Can someone point me to some good documentation for this extension such as video(s), etc.
If I make a connection to a server, does FTP-Simple download all the
actual files to my hard drive?
Yes, It download all to your hard drive. you can find an address like below:
C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\ftp-simple\remote-workspace-temp\cbc1ad9ed60f12ec861052806d7833db\httpdocs
for opening a directory in VSCode you can press F1 type ftp-config then click ftp-config:Open
and click on target directory you want to open for more information use this
2 years later and I'm having the same problem. I have already uninstalled ftp simple as well as VSC with no effect.
The plugin just doesn't download all the files on the FTP. It worked the first time I installed it for 2-3 weeks and then suddenly stopped being in sync with the FTP server.
There is a folder called "code" on mac in Library/Application Support where most of VSC data is saved, but deleting this didn't have an effect either. Perhaps it works for someone else, as this is apparently necessary to fully deinstall VSC.
I'd pay for good plugin that just allows to work remotely on ftp files!!
We have a customer with their SFTP site, and I would like to copy files from specific folder, by using any automated process.
One of the example which I found, is winscp.net, but I have not managed how to use it, for my purpose.

QUESTION: All I will need is not run script and the file should be copied from their directory to my local folder. Is it possible at all?
I found the way of using PSFTP(Putty) to connect to the server, but how to make it automatically, do not know.
I think its a good solution for your problem.
You have to install winscp and the code some files and it will do automaticaly. I used 3 or 4 times. Also you need the key for your SFTP to connect throught it.
Here a link to the guide step by step.
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/guides
Here is a link to the scripting webpage
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/scripting
I recommend you to create an ini file to load all of the characteristics of your ftp connection and then execute an script over this.
It can be launched like that
WinSCP.com /ini=[your ini file] /script=[Your script file(what you want to do when it is connect)]
Hope this helps!.
I have been using Netbeans for several months now and like it a lot. I am trying to enable a way to create a project which accesses live files on my server to make changes. When I create a project using a remote source, it starts downloading all the server files to my computer. This would be just fine, except for the fact that (a) the server has a few gigs of files on it and (b) there are two of us that will be making changes on the server.
In the past, I have worked with IDEs that just open an FTP or SFTP connection and will download the file you want to edit, and then upload that file back to the server when you save it. Preferably, this is what I would like Netbeans to do.
I have tried adding a FTP folder in Windows, but Netbeans won't open it. I have tried using Swish and setting up an SFTP folder, and Netbeans won't find the Swish folder altogether.
On a side note, I understand what I am doing is horrible practice, but it is a small site and I am usually the only one working on it. I haven't worked on the website in the past several weeks and just thought it would be easier to get access directly than re-downloading the entire server's worth of code/images/videos/etc. Any help would be appreciated.
NetBeans does not support what you want to do. However, if you put your site under Subversion/Git (revision control), you could check out the content, modify it locally and push modification back remotely.
This would also help avoiding code clashes when your friends work on your website too.
Actually Netbeans supports this for php projects.
Just choose :
PHP Application from remote server
(but git is the best solution anw as it gives you version control as well but the above is useful if you want your server files to be updated when you just press ctr+s)
