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

David,

Just Copy and Paste. That's it.


I already go the feeling that that might be the only way to do it. Oh well,
if it doesn't go like I want, it has to go as it allows I guess. :-)

I have to say that I find it a bit remarkable, from a security perspective,
that the target, server computer must have access to the local, client
computer to be able to transfer files. If that target computer has any
kind of infection it could (I think) easily (and silently?) infect the
client too.

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.
