Most of the time, copy-paste works seamlessly, until data amount or file is too big to copy. In that case, sharing local disk is perfect solution,
Wrinkle I encountered was that I had .RDP shortcuts already defined (from Azure) and bringing up properties didn't show me actual remote connection properties. But right click and Edit option did bring options for rdp and allowed me to add local disk to the connection.
Connection is not permanent - if you stay connected to the machine for a long time, disk can disappear after a while, and should be defined again.
- Click Start, point to All Programs (or Programs), point to Accessories, point to Communications, and then click Remote Desktop Connection.
- Click Options, and then click the Local Resources tab.
- Define your disk as local disk for the connection.
- Connect - it will be available in File Explorer as local disk.
