1) The directory path permissions MUST be configured correctly by
the system administrator or the system itself - xrdp-chansrv will not
do this for you (although it will create the final directories owned by
the user).
.HP 3
2) The desktop may not automatically display a link for the redirected
drive. To fix this, consult the docs for your chosen desktop.
.RE

.TP
\fBFileUmask\fR=\fImode\fR
Additional umask to apply to files in the \fBFuseMountName\fR directory.
The default value of 077 prevents other users on the system from reading
files on your redirected drives. This may not be approprate for all
