Administrators share data files via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) from a client to a target server in Okta Advanced Server Access (ASA) and Okta Privileged Access (OPA) by using a macOS client running MacFreeRDP. Okta implements this RDP share functionality only in ScaleFT macOS clients using MacFreeRDP. Administrators use the command line to share specific directories with the target server.
