I am using Windows Remote Desktop to connect to a server. I have enabled access to a local drive as per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313292 but I'm trying to figure out how to access the drive from the command prompt.

As per the link the shared drive shows up as drive_letter on terminal_server_client_name but using that in the command prompt doesn't work.

Does anyone know of a way I can access this file from command prompt or power shell so I can script some stuff out?

Thanks,

Shane

\\tsclient\X

where X is the drive letter.

I have been looking for a simple way to do this too, due to a simple batch file I am scripting. You can access the location by mapping the network drive. Within your remote desktop Windows OS, go to Network > tsclient and right click the network drive and select "Map Network Drive". Now you can access it with the letter that is mapped to it.

On the host command line (substitute your actual values where the bracketed stuff is): net use [choose an unused drive letter like M:] \\tsclient[drive letter on client]

Example: net use e: \\tsclient\e
