Hi,
I'm having issues with drive redirection on some of my servers.
I can browse the file system on my Mac just fine but when initiating a transfer it stalls the connection for almost half a minute and eventually errors out.
When I then go back to the redirected drive, I get another error and have to reconnect to gain access again.
See the attachments for both error messages.
Most of the time, I'm seeing this on servers that are outside my LAN (they are in fact EC2 instances) and transfering files larger than around 2MB.
When doing the same thing on servers that are inside my LAN the transfers are working most of the time but I can't do anything else while they are in progress. The connection basically freezes and resumes only after the transfer is complete. Obviously this is a major PITA when transferring large files.
Everything works fine for very small files, both on my LAN and WAN.
My LAN connection is 1Gbit and my WAN connection is 70Mbit.
The EC2 instances are freshly set up t2.micro Win2k12 R2 machines and I'm not having the issue with mstsc or MSRDP for Mac from the same machine.
Any ideas?

Hi,
We just released a new version that should fix your issue.
You can download it here http://mac.remotedesktopmanager.com/Home/Download
Tell us if it worked for you

That's definitely an improvement!
It works pretty reliably in my LAN now, but still stalls for EC2 connections.
The session stays open, but I still can't do anything while a transfer is in progress (no mouse or keyboard input).
This happens against all my EC2 instances and while Microsoft Remote Desktop certainly has some input delay while transferring files, it at least responds.
Like previously mentioned I'm using t2.micro instances of Win2k12 R2 (also have some Win2k8 R2) which obviously aren't the fastest but the fact that it works so much smoother with Microsoft's tool is a pointer to a problem in RDM IMHO.
Thank you for your feedback we will look into that
