Unlike real RDP session the browsers do not allow to access the hard drives directly, the file transfer is emulated.

The sub-folder of gateway gets mounted as a WebFile device into your RDP session. Inside the RDP session you can access it via Explorer by clicking on “WebFile” or call “\\tsclient\WebFile” directly:

There are 3 different possibilities to transfer a file:

You can set the upload and download destination folders in the File Transfer section of the Web Portal Customization menu, under the Web tab in the Admin Tool.

If you want to avoid this behavior, set the following line on the setting.js file which path is by default: C:\Program Files (x86)\tsplus\Clients\www\software\html5\settings.js :

dropboxonnewfile = 0;

Additionally you can set:

sharedfolder = “yes”;

to show shared folder and share your files with other users (disabled by default).
