How can I transfer files via microsoft remote desktop?

I am using Microsoft Remote Desktop and am trying to figure out how to transfer files from my office computer to my laptop. I need to be able to edit and print microsoft works, word, and excel documents at home that are stored on my office computer. I then need to send back the edited files to my office computer. If d/l another free program would be easier to do this than microsoft remote desktop please let me know. I am also running xp on both computers. Thanks...

Funny enough, you can't transfer files via Remote Desktop. But if you want to work from home, why don't you just keep a USB thumb drive on your keychain and create a "Briefcase" folder on it? Drag your "My Documents" folder into the Briefcase, and you can keep your documents synced between your PC and laptop.

What are wanting to accomplish is not necessary with only a Remote Desktop Connection.

What you'll need to do is setup a VPN connection to your office so you can access shared files/drives. Then you can map your shared information at home and edit/print, whatever.

I'd consult your IT Manager at the office and they can very easily set this up for you.
