Moving files to the Windows 2008 Cloud with Remote Desktop

If you have a Windows Virtual Server, or a Dedicated Server you can easily load software and files onto the server without setting up FTP access or opening shared drive.  Using Windows Remote Desktop Connection you have to option to map remote resources such as the Printer, Clipboard and even local drives. 

Step 1: To get started launch Windows Remote Desktop Connection (Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Remote Desktop Connection).

Step 2: Click on the Options tab when launching Remote Desktop and select “more”.  You can then select local drives on your PC/Laptop that you want your Server to see.  From your server located in the LocalSolutions.net datacenter you can now browse the C: drive on your PC and copy any needed files/programs to the Server 2008 cloud.
