Hi,

I need to transfer files from 1 site to another using a batch file.

Our client has 2003 server running terminal services at site1 and at site 2
users connect directly using the Remote Desktop Client (im aware this is not
very secure).

I noticed that you can share DRIVES from the client when logging into the
terminal server and these drive then become available on the terminal server
desktop.

Is it then possible to map a drive from this terminal server windows back to
the remote client where the Remote Desktop software is running ?

When I tried I got the message "The drive could not be mapped because no
network was found". Will it ever be possible to map a drive like this ?

I understand that the terminal server screen shows the drive in my
computer......but i need a batch file to run and copy the files for me on a
schedule.

Thanks for any information.

The Remote Desktop Clinet on the workstation is set to share the "DRIVES"
using Remote Desktop DRIVES option. This means the drives appear under the
TS Desktop as "OTHER" drives.

When this is the case I cant map back to the from the TS DESKTOP to the
clinet i.e \\clinet\cdrive\. The workstations drives appear under My
Computer on the TS DESKTOP as "Other" drives. I cannot actually MAP back to
them though even if the drive is shared (using normally sharing techniques).
i.e I cant NET USE L: \\clinet\cdrive\ as the TS cant find the path to the
CLINET.

NOTE: the connection from the WS to the TS is over 3389 remotely i.e no
WINS.

Thanks
Scott
