Connect to a Mapped Drive in Citrix on Local Desktop

[derrickorama]

I have been using Citrix in my company for some time, and I have mapped drives through Citrix. I was wondering if it is possible to use my Citrix connection (which has the mapped drives) to somehow map a network drive on my local computer to connect to a mapped drive in Citrix. I have done some work with tunneling before, but I am not sure how this would work. I figure that since I can access the drives through Citrix, it should technically be possible to connect to it with my local machine. Then again, connecting in such a way could also be something that networking protocol and networking security gurus would have to think up. I am just wondering if anyone figured it out.

It would help if I could work on files without having to transfer them from their mapped drives, move them to my local desktop, open them with my own editing software, and move them back to their drives for testing... It would be so much nicer if I could keep them in their original location (on their mapped drive in Citrix) and edit them from my local machine. That would be my goal, although I do not know how it is possible. Any suggestions are appreciated.

You can map drives through Citrix to your desktop. However, you'd be best asking your administrators as this feature may be disabled.
