Hello everyone,

 

Is there any configuration on FortiGate or on FortiClient EMS that allows SSL-VPN remote users connected via FortiClient to work with the files stored on the server but not copy or download it on their laptops?

 

Thank You,

You can block download from DLP. you can specify all file extension (i.e. .exe, .rar).

Hello

You can use RDP to work on your files while denying file copy. This is a Windows specific configuration, and you don't need to change anything on FortiGate or FortiClient.

Hope it helps.
