remmina and RDP to Windows 10

I could not connect via RDP to the Azure Win 10 instances using the distro-supplied Remmina on Ubuntu 16.04 based Linux Mint 18.1. Found that a later version of Remmina is needed.

First tried installing flatpak - that failed. Then went the ppa route, success.

Found the procedure to transfer files via RDP, by Edit connection, Share folder, and also choosing sound as local, file transfers were quite slow, 27 seconds for 7 MB in my case - 4 seconds per MB. For me, with Azure, it was faster to use wetransfer.com - faster than 1 MB / sec upload at my end, 10 sec to download a 200 MB file to the Azure VM.
