Description
In recent versions of RustDesk Server Pro, there is a discrepancy in how file transfers are logged. While using the dedicated "File Transfer" window correctly logs every transaction in the Web Dashboard's Audit Logs, performing a file transfer via Copy-Paste (Clipboard) does not trigger a log entry.
For IT administrators managing many endpoints (100+), it is critical for security and compliance to have a complete trail of all files entering or leaving a remote machine, regardless of the method used.
I would like to see clipboard-based file transfers integrated into the same logging system as the manual File Transfer module. If a file is copied from the local machine and pasted onto the remote machine (or vice-versa),
We are using the RustDesk Server Pro (v1.7.7) and noticed that this behavior changed compared to older versions. Keeping a full audit trail is a key reason we chose the Pro version, and having "invisible" file transfers through the clipboard is a security gap for our organization.
