How do I transfer files to / from an SBS2011 Remote Session?
Just installed SBS2011 for a client. Love it, except users are complaining that when they remote in, they're no longer able to transfer files back and forth from their home PCs to their work PCs. In SBS2003 and 2008, you just checked a checkbox right before you connected and it would map your local PC drives and printers to the remote PC. I can't find any way to do this in SBS2011. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Wow, thanks a bunch RobWill. The updated TS/RDP client works great. Is there an easy way to update the shared folders displayed on RWW, in case people want to do it that way?
You can add folders from the Windows SBS 2011 console. Go to Shared Folders and Web Sites | shared folders | on the right - Add a new shared folder
Just accepting the defaults will add it to the web page, but you may want to set permissions for the appropriate user. Note, just in case if you are not familiar with DFS you don't need that for the web access.
You can also customize the Remote Web Access page under Windows SBS 2011 console | Shared Folders and Web Sites | Web Sites
Here you can add/delete links, change the title, and look.

I can't believe I didn't see that. Is there a way to add a folder that's shared on a different machine? (IE we have a file server that they would need to access), or is this only available for local folders and drives?

No I am afraid not. That is a popular request.
If you wanted to get elaborate you could use DFS to create a shared name space that would synchronize the data between the other server and the SBS. However then the SBS becomes the file server and other than storing a copy there would be no need of the other file server.
