Share files between local and remote computer using Remote Desktop Connection

One of the most common tasks you'll need to do when using an Remote Desktop Connection is transfer a file from your local machine to the remote machine that you're logged into. During a Remote Desktop session, you can gain easy access to your local disk drives on the remote computer so that you can transfer files between these two systems in the same way that you copy files from a network share.



1. Click Start ->All Programs->Accessories->Remote Desktop Connection.
2. Click Options, and then click the Local Resources tab.
3. Click Disk Drives and then click Connect.
4. When you get logged into the remote box, open My Computer and you'll see that all the local drives will show up as mapped disk drives.
5. Now you can transfer your file as you do in local system.
