Is it possible to copy files to remote desktop only on Windows?RDC utilizes Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Protocol to share files to remote desktop sessions. This functionality comes standard in every edition of Windows 10 and Windows Server. Show There are RDP-compatible software tools by Microsoft that also provide Mac users with the ability to connect to Windows PCs and access mobile platforms like iOS and Android. If you’re on a Mac computer, you can transfer files to Windows remote desktops by using the Redirection tab (located in the Remote Desktop app). Windows users have the Remote Desktop Connection tool already built-in, which makes configuring file-sharing settings (before connecting), simple and fast. Unable to Copy and Paste to and from remote desktop connection on some servers.Unable to Copy and Paste to and from the remote desktop connections on some servers. None of the file types are working. I tried folder copy, text file copy, word, excel, .exe file copy. none of those work. Interestingly, copy-paste of text to and from works. Client OS is Windows 10. Troubleshooting did so far: Any suggestions as to what more we can do to identify and fix the issue? remote-desktop-servicesremote-desktop-client Comment Comment · Show 2 Comment 5 |1600 characters needed characters left characters exceeded

Jingruihan-MSFT · Jun 07, 2021 at 05:12 AM Hi, is everything ok？ 0 Votes 0 · SamChaney-4012 · Nov 10, 2021 at 09:55 PM Akshay, did you ever get this resolved? 0 Votes 0 · Jingruihan-MSFT answered • May 24, '21 | XiaoWu-9986 commented • Feb 7, '22 Hi, dear It's highly recommended you use Drive Redirection through Remote Desktop Services if you want to transfer files. Firstly, run command with Mstsc.exe. When the Remote Desktop Connection window appears, click the Show Options button at the bottom left of the window.  In the meanwhile, you can edit client drive redirection by configuring a Microsoft Remote Desktop Services group policy setting for remote desktops and RDS hosts. Run command with gpedit.msc. In the Group Policy Editor, go to Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Device and Resource Redirection. Secondly, you should check the rdpclip.exe on your remote computer with Task Manager to see if it is processing well. Cause Remote Desktop Clipboard is a Windows utility that allows users to manage a shared clipboard between a local host and remote desktop. This application runs on the remote PC and not on your local host. Run command with taskmgr.exe - Go to the Processes Tab - Select rdpclip.exe - Click End task Go to the File tab - Click Run new task - Type rdpclip.exe - Click Ok If the Answer is helpful, please click "Accept Answer" and upvote it.

IbrahimSadeck-0385 · Sep 15, 2021 at 05:52 AM restarting rdpclip.exe on the remote server solved my issue 0 Votes 0 · XiaoWu-9986 IbrahimSadeck-0385 · Feb 07 at 10:57 PM I ran into the same issue. In Remote Desktop Connection/Show Options/Local Resources tab, uncheck Clipboard; check Clipboard, and re-connect helped resolving the issue. 0 Votes 0 · Jingruihan-MSFT answered • Jun 2, '21 Hi, Haven't received your message in a few days, was your issue resolved?

BrianW-4025 answered • Nov 18, '21 Same problem, Windows 10 client and server is Windows 2019. None of the client or server side methods above solve the problem to reset it. What causes it to stop working is when I copy a large amount of text across the RDP connection, ie 500-1000+ rows (exact number not yet determined). The clipboard stills functions on client/server independently but no longer across the connection. Comment Comment Show 0 Comment 5 |1600 characters needed characters left characters exceeded

I've got the exact same problem as Akshay, tried the same things to no avail. For reference this issue is only happening on my session hosts - other RDS server that has connection broker / session host on it doesn't have this issue. Further investigation appreciated @Jingruihan-MSFT Comment Comment · Show 1 Comment 5 |1600 characters needed characters left characters exceeded

I believe our symptoms are the same on Windows 10 Multisession 20H2 session host. 0 Votes 0 · rsn71-3944 answered • Feb 11, '22 I am having this issue and have tried everything in this post - the RDC already had Clipboard checked. I have rebooted the server, the laptop that I am using RDP on. Still unable to copy and p paste from the Event Viewer. I can't even copy and paste to Notepad on the same server with NO RDP. This is ridiculous - with a Mac you can copy and past from any dialog box that pops up. Why on earth desert Microsoft allow this on all their products and OS? Makes life so much easier and saves a ton of time for the administrator. Microsoft needs to think about how their customer use the event viewer log.
