Using Remote File Transfer, we can configure it to open document files such as Excel (.xlsx), Word (.docx), PDF with client side application
* For .xlsx extension (Excel):
Modify or create HKEY_CLASS_ROOT\.xlsx\shell\open\command
Default=RemFileTransfer.exe “%1”
* For .docxx extension (Word):
There are 2 places to modify in the server registry:
HKEY_CLASS_ROOT\.docx and
HKEY_CLASS_ROOT\docxfile
Rename (don’t edit) them to:
HKEY_CLASS_ROOT\.docx_bak
HKEY_CLASS_ROOT\docxfile_bak
Then recreate the same registry keys:
HKEY_CLASS_ROOT\.docx\shell\open\command
HKEY_CLASS_ROOT\docxfile\shell\open\command
and set Default value to: RemFileTransfer.exe “%1”
