Embedded Files
Copying files from a USB on your desktop or laptop to a Windows application server is straight forward! Follow the directions below to get it done!
First, insert the USB and find your file on the USB.
In this case, the USB drive shows up as drive D. On Drive D, there is a file that will be moved to the server. This could be anything - the key thing is to identify what files or folders need to be moved and where they are located on the desktop or laptop.
Next, Launch Remote Desktop Connection by clicking on the Windows menu and typing Remote Desktop.
When Remote Desktop is typed - "open" will appear on the right hand side. Click Open to launch Remote Desktop Connection.
Next, specify the server that will be used, the domain for the user, and the userid that will be specfied.
Next, click on the Local Resources tab
Next, click on the More button
Next, place a check next to the Drives icon
Click OK to close the local resources dialog window.
Click Connect to connect to the server.
If prompted to confirm the connection to the server, click the "Don't ask me again for connections to this computer" checkbox and then click the Connect button.
The domain and userid entered when the server connection was opened should be listed. If not, click more choices and enter them.
Then enter the password and click OK.
Upon reaching the desktop of the server, select the local drive on the desktop or laptop and the contents will display on the right side. In this case the USB drive was "D" on the computer named Jeff with the folder on the USB containing the files that are needed. At this point, the USB on the desktop or laptop looks just like another drive on the server.
