I like the feature of RDP where your local drives show up on the remote
machine, which is what I think Jay is describing. I use it all the time
for documents. I never gave any thought to how it works or what its
limitations are. Maybe it tunnels SMB through the RDP connection.
I just tried it with a large file, and yes it's slow for me too. Barely
1 meg.
They have these things called flash drives, you know.
And there is this amazing thing called Dropbox.
The only part of this I would use RDP for is to log into the remote
computer and upload the file to Dropbox or send it via some variant of
FTP to a server at the office.

*Subject:* [AFMUG] ok - so i bet this is a mystery no one has an answer to
So, i've got a computer at our office on a one gig fiber connection.
i have a computer on a cable modem.
I'm trying to copy a 75 meg file using remote desktop from the office
to my home.
The office computer has symmetric up and down - it's one gig fiber.
My home computer (download) is 60 meg down 4 meg up (charter cable)
Studying office network traffic it's only moving at 1.5 meg.
Why isn't it going faster? Is there is a tweakable way?
