I have several XP machines that can RDP each other and use file redirection with no problem. My office machine however is a Win2k server. If I RDP into that machine, it does not map local drives to its Win Explorer. I just installed the latest XP remote desktop file on my office machine hoping that it would allow file redirection to occur during an RDP session to that machine. No luck though! It looks as if the Win2k machine still uses terminal server to accept the RDP call. Is there any way to make the Win2k machine do file redirection from an XP client using RDP? I know terminal server allows more than one connection but I'd gladly trade that feature for file redirection! Thanks in advance!
No, W2K Terminal Services does not support local drive redirection. If your XP client is on the same LAN as the W2K server, you can easily map your drives in your logon script. Something like: net use X: \\XP_client\c$ If you are connecting from the WAN, have a look at TSDropCopy: http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/system/tsdc.htm or use any freeware FTP program. _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net ___ please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email ___ paquette@uwo.ca wrote on 13 maj 2006 in microsoft.public.windowsnt.terminalserver.misc: > I have several XP machines that can RDP each other and use file > redirection with no problem.
