Copy , Paste and Transfer files with remote desktop connection to and from your remote computer
Normally, I have seen people using remote desktop connection utility provided by windows in my office lots of times while giving a presentation.
Sometimes there is a need to transfer files from the remote computer to the local computer in the middle of the presentation, but as due to the default settings of remote desktop connection utility it does not allow transferring of files in between the local and the remote computer.
How Configure Remote Desktop Connection Utility for File Transfer
1. Open Start>>Run and type mstsc
2. Now click on options and again click on Local Resources Tab.
3. Under Local Devices and Resources (in vista) ,click on more.. button. ( In Windows Xp ) you will see a checkbox as Local Drives
4. Check the Checkbox "drives" in the newly opened window in vista or check the checkbox Local Drives in Windows XP.
5. Click OK and connect to the remote computer now ,
This time you will be able to transfer files in between remote and local computer.
Tip: You can also configure some other options one time which will allow you to use remote desktop in a more convenient way.

thanx for the info. now, my drive directly connected to my remote machine d-_-b
Nice help, now my local drive appears
Thank you
Very good article. Thanks for the good information!.
You don’t mention how to get files from the remote connection. I go to my computer on both machines, no extra drives show up. Same with Network places. i can’t drag a file from the remote machine to mine. Bit of a hole in the article, don’t you think?
@cak - well it has nothing to do with drives but by checking the option above the hard drive become accessible. then u just need to copy or drag files from your remote desktop window to your computer
