Local Resources on Remote Desktop Connections

Hello everyone,

When using remote desktop connections, we can make our local resources (like our local drives) available for the remote session. In the Windows Explorer in the Remote Desktop Session, they show up as "C on MyThinkPad" or "D on MyThinkPad", where MyThinkPad is my laptop's name. These drives however do not show up in the portable XYPlorer that I have on the remote server. Is there a way I can access them from XYPlorer?

Thanks!

Do you still use virtual box? Then you can have 2 systems active, and (hopefully) they can connect via network. (Depends on your network definitions in VBox.)

In this situation someone should be able to give you easy instruction how to Remote Connect them - and you could try as much as you like.
(Same for mapping drives of one windows to another...)

(Sorry: I didn't use this for many years now :P )

Oh!

So you lost the ability to test quite a lot of networking problems people have :cry:

I never used vbox for this anyway, just to emulate win7/64. Now that I have win8/64 I don't need this anymore.

I have other ways to debug network, but at the moment they are not available.
