Copying files between remote desktops

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 28.2004

Does anyone know if it is possible to ‘drag and drop’ files between Windows computers via a Remote Desktop session? I often work on a Windows Server from my Windows XP Pro workstation and it would be very helpful if I could just move files from my desktop to the other computer without having to FTP files back and forth.

Remote Desktop does not seem to do this by default. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks for the help.

not sure if you can but maybe you can use something like net meeting or MSN Messanger in conjunction with remote desktop.

Success!
