Re: Can you copy&restore a compressed folder back to your local pc?

When I run my RDC session over VPN and try copying over a folder

need to copy from the Host to my Local PC.

My Host is running Windows 2003 SBS
My Local PC is running Windows XP SP1

Has anyone tried compressing a folder on a Host machine (
right-clicking, choosing send to: compressed folder) and then
copying over the compressed folder back to your local pc and
restoring it.

Will this work between these operating systems?

Yes.
They should both use a "zip" compression method.
Although - you may or may not get much compression out of it - depending on
the type of files.
Sounds like your network/internet connection just needs upgrading.
