How to gain access to local files
You can gain access to your disk drives on the local computer during a Remote Desktop session. You can redirect the local disk drives, including the hard disk drives, CD-ROM disk drives, floppy disk drives, and mapped network disk drives so that you can transfer files between the local host and the remote computer in the same way that you copy files from a network share. You can use Microsoft Windows Explorer to view the disk drives and files for each redirected disk drive. Alternatively, you can view the files for each redirected disk drive in My Computer. The drives are displayed as "
drive_letter on terminal_server_client_name" in both Windows Explorer and My Computer.
To view the disk drives and files for the redirected disk drive:
Click
Start, point to
All Programs (or
Programs), point to
Accessories, point to
Communications, and then click
Remote Desktop Connection.
Click
Options, and then click the
Local Resources tab.
Click
Disk Drives, and then click
Connect.
