File transfer

How can I transfer files using Remote Desktop from my desktop to my laptop?

Re: File transfer

Open Explorer on the remote machine, and you will see extra hard drives.
Those are the ones on the controllers machine. It's a drag and drop.

Re: File transfer

Thanks, Mark
I followed your steps, but didn't see any extra hard drives. Any further
help for me?

Re: File transfer

Don't I have to somehow display both views on the same screen?

Re: File transfer

Before you connect to the remote computer, in Remote Desktop Connection,
click on Options.
Local Resources - More...
checkmark the drives on your local PC that you want to see while connected
to the remote PC
OK
then Connect

Re: File transfer

It works! Thanks, guys. I had a little difficulty understanding the
process, because I'm rather a novice. I thought it would make sense to be
able to do this, but the "how-to's" were not as helpful as this site.
