asked on Paste files from local PC to Remote Desktop using Powershell
I am looking at the various way to copy files from a users local PC to a specific folder location - on a Remote Server. Essentially, it would work in the following way:
We need this paste function to run int the background and I was wondering if we could use Powershell to do this. Incidentally, our server is running 2012 R2.
- User copies files on local PC
- They switch to the RDP server
- Press a button on our application that runs a script and pastes the file into a specific folder

powershell is included with all current windows operating systems the problem is that scripts are disabled
The clipboard is not usable here. as the clipboard contains the contents of the file.. copy and paste operates differently depending upon the context, within a file it copies the text to the clipboard otherwise it just buffers the selection.

Thank you everyone for your help. In the end, I just opted to share the C drive and use Ben's solution.
hey Andy, glad that was helpful to you :)
The problem that I have is, that on the users local PC - I can't install any software and need to rely on them to manually copy the files to the clipboard. However, once they are on the RDP - I can do whatever needs to be done.
Thanks again for coming back to me so quickly - I need to sign off now and get some dinner.
