Windows – Local disk resources not working when connecting with remote desktop

remote desktopwindows

I want to transfer files to a server using remote desktop local resources features. For some reason local disks are not shown in explorer on remote server even though I checked "disks" on Remote desktop local resources config tab. On remote server explorer I can see two broken icons in "Other" section with type "System folder" but when I click those icons nothing happens.

I Checked also remote server's Terminal services configuration and local resouces linking are allowed for TS sessions. So what's wrong here?

The only really reliable way to copy files over RDP that I have relied on, almost every time is using the \tsclient\c (or whatever drive you want) method. It does not work in a CMD window, but it works in an explorer window. To use it in a CMD session or script, launch it inside FAR manager or something similar.

It is convenient to use it like this:

start>run
\\tsclient\c 

and a window with the local machines files will open.
