Configure the AppStream 2.0 Windows client folder redirection feature.In this guide, you will complete the following tasks: Additionally, the sample script provides an outline for reacting to additional file actions such as changes, renames, and deletes. For instance, the application interaction can be reversed by configuring the file system watcher inside your AppStream 2.0 image.

You can utilize this example as a template and make any necessary modifications to meet your specific use case. The scenario provided in this blog demonstrates how a remote AppStream 2.0 hosted application can automatically launch content on a local machine. An example PowerShell script that enables a file system watcher to automatically react to changes within that folder is also provided. This article includes a sample script that configures a freshly installed AppStream 2.0 Windows client to redirect a local folder into the remote session.

You can then utilize a FileSystemWatcher to monitor that folder for activity, and automatically initiate secondary actions, such as opening the file in a specific program. With this configuration in place, you can exchange files with the AppStream 2.0 session using native Windows Explorer folder interactions. With the file system redirection feature, administrators can configure a folder to be redirected from the local client into the remote AppStream 2.0 session.

Likewise, a local application may output a file that needs to be opened automatically in the appropriate AppStream 2.0 hosted application. For example, consider a hosted application that exports data to an external program, such as a spreadsheet or PDF application that is installed and licensed on a local machine. In some scenarios, customers require interaction between remote and local applications. With Amazon AppStream 2.0, applications run securely in the cloud, isolated from end users’ local machines.
