Terminal Server and Copying Files 3

[beerhunter2]

Does anyone know of a third party tool that will allow me to copy files to and from a computer running a terminal server session?
I checked out Rdpclip from the 2000 server resource kit, but Microsoft says that Rdpclip does not work with version 5.1 of the Remote Desktop Protocol client.

Help! I've fallen and I can't reach my beer.

Off the top of my head, the only way I am aware of accomplishing this is using Citrix.

Try this solution. It worked well for us.

When you use the default Terminal Services configuration, you cannot copy and paste files between the Terminal Services client and the Terminal server. However, when you use the Rdpclip (Rdpclip.exe) utility that is included in the Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit, you can copy and paste files between the Terminal Services client and the Terminal server.

On the terminal server, follow these steps:

1. Install the Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit
2. Download the Rdpclip hotfix from Microsoft and then install it
3. Start Microsoft Windows Explorer, and then locate the Resource Kit folder
4. Right-click each of the following files, click Properties , and then click the

version tab to confirm the file version:
C:\Program Files\Resource Kit\Rdpclip.exe - 5.0.2205.1
C:\Program Files\Resource Kit\Fxfr.dll - 5.0.2064.1
C:\Program Files\Resource Kit\Rdpdr.dll - 5.0.2205.1


5. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe)
6. Locate and click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\AddIns\Clip Redirector
7. Double-click the Name value, and then type fxrdpclp in the Value data box to replace "rdpclip."
8. Locate and click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\Wds\rdpwd
9. Double-click the Startup Programs value, and then type fxrdpclp in the Value data box to replace "rdpclip."
10. Rename the Rdpclip.exe file in the Resource Kit folder to "Fxrdpclp.exe"
11. Copy both the Fxrdpclp.exe file and the Fxfr.dll file that are located in the Resource Kit folder to the Windows_folder \System32 folder
12. Restart the Terminal server

On terminal services clients, follow these steps:

1. Copy the Fxfr.dll file from the Resource Kit folder to the Program Files\Terminal Services Client folder
2. Rename the Rdpdr.dll file in the Program Files\Terminal Services Client folder to "Rdpdr.pss"
3. Copy the Rdpdr.dll file in the Resource Kit folder to the Program Files\Terminal Services Client folder
4. Start a Terminal Services client session with the updated Terminal server
5. Right-click a file in the Terminal Services dialog box and click Copy
6. Right-click a location on the desktop of the Terminal Services client and click Paste

NOTE : These procedures do not work with Terminal Services Advanced Client (TSAC).

Thanks for the info lb63640.

All of my clients are running Windows XP, which come standard with Remote Desktop client 5.1. It is my understanding that version of Remote Desktop will not work with Rdpclip.

Can you confirm that it will work in this environment?

Citrix has been suggested to me as an option, but I was hoping that there was a solution that worked with the existing Terminal Server that I have set up.

Or you could use TSDropCopy from AnalogX
