FolderShare on Terminal Services?

Can FolderShare work on Win2003 Terminal Services?

 

I have remote salespeople who need access to documents (but I don't want to

share entire remote drives) for printing.

 

FolderShare seems like a good solution (share remote files with the

connecting laptop), but will it function under TS?

 

 

Thanks.

Is that a product or are you talking about shared folders?

Re: FolderShare on Terminal Services?

 

Are you trying to

 

share folders on TS server to connecting laptop

 

or

 

share folders on connecting laptop to TS server applications?

 

Thanks

 

Rong

Re: FolderShare on Terminal Services?

 

@Helge: FolderShare is a product (Google it for more info).

 

@Rong: my user is connecting from his laptop (in UK) to a remote Terminal

Server here (in US) and needs to be able to print documents stored on the

main (Terminal) Server here.

 

It looks like remote printing is out of the question as he's using a USB

multifunction printer, and Terminal Services seems to be utterly deficient in

this respect. So I'd like to setup FolderShare on the TS for him (he already

has it on his laptop) to copy documents he needs to print to a folder on his

laptop.

 

I prefer this to sharing his local laptop C drive (via Remote Desktop

Connection) to discourage mass file copying (subtle distinction, I know).

 

 

Thanks.

Re: FolderShare on Terminal Services?

 

I don't know much about FolderShare, but one workaround of this can be

 

1) map the folder on laptop to a network drive (e.g. Drive Z)

2) Select the network drive (Z drive in this case) to redirect in Remote

Desktop Connection

 

Thanks

 

Rong
