Example xfreerdp usage with clipboard plugin

The xfreerdp protocol changed how to connect. Try the following example:

xfreerdp +clipboard /u:<username> /v:<hostname> /size:<WxH>

Also, if it is necessary to connect over a different port, add /p: <port> after the <hostname> parameter.

I found the best option was to upgrade freerdp following these guidelines:

In Terminal:

$ cd /usr/src
$ git clone git://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP.git
$ cd FreeRDP

$ sudo aptitude install libcunit1-dev libdirectfb-dev xmlto doxygen   \
    libxtst-dev libavutil-dev libavcodec-dev build-essential git-core \
    cmake libssl-dev libx11-dev libxext-dev libxinerama-dev           \
    libxcursor-dev libxdamage-dev libxv-dev libxkbfile-dev            \
    libasound2-dev libcups2-dev libxml2 libxml2-dev                   \
    libxrandr-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev                                \
    libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libxi-dev                       \
    libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev

$ sudo cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DWITH_SSE2=ON .
$ sudo make
$ sudo apt-get install checkinstall
$ sudo checkinstall make install
$ sudo which xfreerdp
$ xfreerdp --version

Now you should see the new version and the command line should work!

If you are accessing/running this from mac terminal to connect to windows this is what made it work nicely for me

xfreerdp --no-nla --plugin cliprdr -g 1600x1000 -u "your_user_name" your_server_or_ip
