How to save file to local drive from TS?

[LadySlinger]

Hello,

I have a Windows 2000 server set up with Terminal Services. Some of the users want to download files from the terminal services to their hard drive.

I currently have the locations of the file set up as a web site, so that they can access the files from the web.

Is there a way to set Terminal Services up so that the user can download/save a file to their local drive without leaving the TS client? Just curious.

I have found that the best way to do this is to map the users local drives through Terminal Server. You can do this manually, depending on how many PC's you have. If you have a large number of PC's you can do it through the login script by adding the following lines.

net use x: /delete /yes
net use x: \\%CLIENTNAME%\a /yes

net use z: /delete /yes
net use z: \\%CLIENTNAME%\c /yes

net use y: /delete /yes
net use y: \\%CLIENTNAME%\d /yes

You have to make sure that all client drives are shared out correctly.

Floppy - share as a
Hdd - share as c
CD-Rom - share as d.

Hopefully this is of some help!

Oooo...thanks!

I had been told before that it wasn't workable, but the person that told me this didn't do the "/yes" after mapping the drive.

Awesome! I'll give it a try. Thank you!
