I got this ".rdp" remoteAPP file from work which enables me to run a specific application from the terminal server, I can open it easily using windows with a double click, are there any ways to open this kind of files from Ubuntu ?

You can use Remmina, which is default application for remote desktop in Ubuntu from version 11.04.

From Remmina main menu select Tools -> Import and select your .rdp file. It will be imported and added to your saved connections in Remmina and you can use it anytime you start Remmina.

I've just tried rdesktop from command line. To mount your local hard drives you can use rdesktop with -r option command ... It's working :)

Ubuntu – Remmina remoteapp over RDP

As far as I know, Remmina doesn't allow for RemoteApp client access. You can however do it with xfreerdp. Just use something like this on the command line:

xfreerdp -u   --app --plugin ./usr/local/lib/freerdp/rail.so --data "%windir%\system32\cmd.exe" -- <ip of your windows machine>

/usr/bin/xfreerdp -u  --app --plugin rail.so --data "||" --plugin rdpdr --data printer -- <ip of your windows machine>

Unfortunately, sharing data between local and remote systems through clipboard is not working so it's no use to include the --plugin cliprdr option. I'm waiting for this issued to be addressed so that I can replace Windows for Ubuntu on 5 more users/machines!
