For some software i have been using RDP files to run them.

RDP Files

Those who don't know what RDP file is it is a small file that acts as a gateway between a server and client machine which instead of showing the whole desktop shows you just the application which is connected with the RDP.

Problem

When i use OpenFileDialog it gives me the files of the server machine but here i want the files to be shown of client's PC.

Note

For sharing drive details of client i have already enabled the option. If you want to know how it looks like here are the steps:-

  1. Go to "Run" -> type "mstsc" -> press enter
  2. a box appears click "Show Options" -> go to "Local Resources" tab
  3. under "Local device and resources" -> click "More" -> and enable everything

Does anyone know how to achieve this?

  • Is there any provision in RDP file to expose the clients directory in server ? Normally when we do remote desktop, we can configure this .. thats why – Venkatesh Dec 28 '15 at 06:37
  • yes there is an option to do so which i have already enabled but i don't know how to use them? – Developer Nation Dec 28 '15 at 06:38
  • Are you running application with administrative privilege? If not can you try with that ? – Venkatesh Dec 28 '15 at 07:36
  • i have tried with both but it is of no use because the software is commanded to take resources of the residing machine which is the server but i want the resources of client. – Developer Nation Dec 28 '15 at 07:42
