How to Connect a Drive Recognize in Remote Desktop Session (MSTSC)

Over here I have a situation, I can access to the remote session (Terminal Services) to a server, but I can’t access it physically.  I need to copy some of the files into the server for certain application update.  I can’t use the \\servername\<drive> either from my station to copy from my drive to the server. 

Here’s the solution that I would like to share.

• Run the Remote Desktop Session (or type ‘mstsc’ from RUN box)
• Don’t connect it yet.
• Click on the “Local Resources” tab

• In the Local devices and resources click More

• Select the drive that you want to attach, then click OK.

• Key in the computer name and username.
• Click “Connect”.
• Then you can see the extra drive in the remote server.

Hope this guide helps you.
