It's now possible to connect up your local hard drives to be
accessible to the remote server. In fact, it doesn't even need to be your local
harddrive, just any drive you have mapped with NetBios. Make FTP a thing of the
past by securely and quickly transferring files between your remote server and
your local machine. To enable this, edit your RDS client connection, click on
the "Local Resources" tab, and then check "Disk Drives" under the local devices
group.
Now that it's setup, connect to the remote computer. After
logging into your remote server, open a command prompt and type in:
c:>net use * \\tsclient\c
Drive Z: is now connected to \\tsclient\c.
The command completed successfully.
c:>
You can now copy files over any way you want. Try an XCOPY over terminal
services, you'll never use FTP again.
c:>xcopy z:\web c:\web /s /y /r /d /l
The XCOPY option /L means show me what would happen, but don't actually
copy any files. The /D is the money option. It will only copy newer
files, so only the files that you've changed between the two machines.
