I am currently using Kali version 2021.3 with OpenVPN version 2.5.1 For this task, I started a Python HTTP server via Python with port 8080. I remotely connected to host 172.16.91.100 and launched Edge to browse to my HTTP server. I have tried port 8080 and many other ports, however, I constantly get this error. ![PTS error](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/ine/original/1X/3094e9f8089e1b9f3bda11290f8169759af9a6d2.png) I can select “Always use this app”, but the “OK” button is always grayed out. Any ideas what the issue is or how to resolve this? Thank you ---

What file are you trying to open/download? I reckon that’s the address 172[.]16[.]XX[.]XX:8000? Did you prepend `http://` to the address jic? If that still doesn’t work, is Internet Explorer found on the machine? If so, try with IE instead. ---

Did you type: python -m SimpleHTTPServer port:8080? Then you type in the bowser on target computer http://[your IP address]. You find your IP address on tap0 by running ifconfig. ---

Thank you for all the responses. I was able to get it working using Internet Explorer and I did not prepend http:// in Edge, so both work now. ---

Glad that worked out for you. You can also set a share drive through rdesktop with the following flag set `rdesktop -r disk:myshare=/path/to/your/dir` For example: If you have a directory called Tools in your home directory, the flag would be `... -r disk:share=/home/$USER/Tools` ---
