Finally got a remote desktop connection to my machine in the office sorted out yesterday, which in itself is great. What would make it even better is if I could cut/paste files from the office machine to my home machine ...
I had a quick look in the Windows Help files - I say 'quick' as I was trying to do something for a client at the time - and according to those, I should be able to open My Computer on the office machine and it should list the physical drives available on that machine plus the ones on the machine I'm connecting to it from. It showed just the drives on the office machine. Any ideas what's up?
I'd be the first to admit I know jack about networking - one of the other blokes at work set it all up - all I can tell you is that all the machines in the office are connected to a machine running MS Windows Server and my PC there is running software called VNC Server.
I can login and upload files to our webserver via FTP and then download them on my home machine - being able to do that is a bonus - but to have full cut/paste capability would be fantastic.
