My computer in my office has Windows XP Pro and when I use remote access at
home to connect to my office computer I would like to take a file from my
office computer and place it on my computer at home. Is this possible? and if
so, how?

Thanks,

Steve

Click to expand...

When you launch Remote Desktop on your home computer, hit the
Options button. Click on the Local Resources tab. Put a check
mark in the box next to Disk Drives. Now when you connect, the
drives on your home computer will show up in My Computer or
Windows Explorer on the remote computer. You can copy and paste
any file you want from the office hard drive to the icon
representing your home computers drive.

Note: Since this is a change from the default, you might want
to click on General tab of Remote Desktop Connection and hit
the Save As button. Save this configuration someplace handy,
like your desktop, with an appropriate name, like OfficePC.rdp.
Now any time you connect your home computers drive are already
available.

Good luck
