There are many other protocols besides SMB that can be used to share a file. Webdav, ftp, nfs, two systems accessing a third file share, shared folders in a VM, ... Or a file share provided by RDP like in the example, which does not include the IPC share as far as I know.

Hah! You answered my question re how is it different. It’s strange… I re-read your comment twice a with a furrowed brow: “provided by RDP like in the example” and kept thinking to myself “what? There was a screenshot clearly showing…” yada yada SMB. So I went back to the look at the image in the readme. /smh. You know how they say eyewitness testimony is often among the least accurate, even immediately after the incident in question, yet the eyewitness is always so sure, “but I just saw it and…” Wow. Mind playing tricks on me.

Anyway, you’re right, there was no SMB involved in that readme. :-) So strange when you can’t trust your own eyes or short-term memory. Crazy.

If you want an overview of how redirection works in MS-RDP, Microsoft has a good deep dive at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocol....

The main trick is to do it over UDP to get speed like Aspera:
