Copying Files Over Remote Desktop

Here’s a handy tip I just recently learned from the new intern on our team (see, you can learn something from anyone on any given day). I’ve long known you could access your local drives from a remote machine.

Then expand the dialog by clicking on Options, then check the Local**Resources tab.



Make sure Clipboard is checked, and then hit the More… button.



Now you can select a local disk to be shared with the remote machine. For example, in this case I selected my C: drive.



So all this time, I had no idea cut and paste operations for files work across remote desktop
