I work with a laptop from home and want to back up my files to a
remote desktop. Using remote desktop connection, I can access the
remote PC but cannot transfer files from the local c: drive of the
laptop (client pc) to the remote desktop PC. Connection is made
through a DSL with an IP address for the remote PC.
Are you saying that even after following the instructions/advice below, you
cannot copy because you receive some error?
To make local disk drives available in a session:
- In the Remote Desktop Connection window, click Options.
- On the Local Resources tab, Under Local devices, click Disk drives.
- Click Connect.
Notes
* To open Remote Desktop Connection, click Start, point to Programs or All
Programs, point to Accessories, point to Communications, and then click
Remote Desktop Connection.
* Depending on the policies of your network, local drive mapping might be
disabled for some or all remote connections.
* You might see a Remote Desktop Connection Security Warning, which asks
whether you want to connect your local disk drives or smart card to the
remote computer. To enable one or both of these connections, check the
appropriate check box. If you choose not to enable these connections, a
Remote Desktop Connection is still established, but the information on these
local drives is not available to the remote computer.
* When you click Connect, the information you enter in Options becomes the
default setting for all Remote Desktop connections and is saved in a file
called Default.rdp.
