HI Alkis!

Thanks your attention and answer

I had a test on client side and saved file (test.txt) at /home/user/Desktop.
So, after to test, I installed skype in Ltsp server side and run
ltsp-update-image.
Boot Ltsp client side again
Skype Ok at client side
But, the file saved to test (test.txt at /home/user/desktop) has been
deleted.

Are the steps right or not?

Thank you
