Accessing local files and folders in a remote session

With Remote Desktop Connection, your local drives are available automatically when you are connected to a remote computer.

Within a Remote Desktop session, your local drives appear in Windows Explorer with the following designation:

<driveletter>\ on tsclient

To access local drives from a command line or a run line in a remote session, type:

\\tsclient\<driveletter>

where driveletter is the drive letter (without a colon) of the local drive.
