Default Remote Desktop - How to access the remote drive locally ?

From: "R.Wieser"

Hello All,

I would like to copy some files to and from the Remote Desktop connected
computer to the local one. Point is that I want to share the remote drive
with the local computer, not the other way around (local drive sharing
with
remote computer).

How do I do this ? Google only seems to have info about the latter
method.

If that is not possible, is there any way to limit the remote computer in
what it can access on the local one (like only giving it access to a
single
folder) ?

Regards,
Rudy Wieser


Just Copy and Paste. That's it. Treat the RDP as a Window and load
whatever Folder on whatever PC you want to copy to or copy from.

Choose the files and/or folders and choose "Copy" then go to the destination
and choose "Paste".

You can't use Drag 'n Drop over RDP.

You can't move, only copy. The source file(s) will not be deleted.

I use this scenario...

Server 2008 Domain behind a NAT Router.

RDP, TCP Port 3389, is Port-Forwarded to Server 2008. Server 2008 has
Firewall Rules to block ingress from networks not allowed RDP access.

Domain Participant computers can be accessed from the Server 2008 via RDP.
Thus I can open a RDP Session with the server then open a RDP session ( from
the POV of the server ) with a Domain Participant computer and I can copy a
file(s) to any of the Domain Participant computers.

NOTE: RDP security has been improved with Vista and above and its another
reasonm to drop XP if you want to use RDP nad take advantage of the
increased data security models.
