1) I need help on Remote Desktop connections. How would i know whether the machine is remotely connected or locally connected?...Is there any way(file or registry) to know the machine is connected remotely or locally?. If there is, can you send me the process to know the information? 2) Can we read file which is in Local machine from Other machine which is connected Remotely (Ex: i am in P1 machine and i connected to P2 machine remotely from P1 using RDP. How can i read file which is in P1 machine from P2 which i remotely connected?) 1) I need help on Remote Desktop connections.

Which RDP Software are you using ???

1) If you connect with RDC (remote desktop connectino) then you're connected remotely. Whether the PC you're connecting to is located elsewhere in the same room, building, city, coutry, or continent matters little. When you initiate a connection with RDC, you're connected "remotely". In IT terminology, a "local" connection means you're sitting at the console (keyboard) of said PC. 2) You would view the file the exact same way as if you were logged in locally at the console. For example, the remote PC has a file "ReadThis.txt" sitting on the desktop. You remote in with RDC. Once the login is finished, you're looking at the desktop of the remote PC. You see the file, you double click on it to open and read it. What you don't seem to be grasping is that when you remote into a PC via RDC, once connected it's just like you're actually sitting at the keyboard of that PC. Anything you could do sitting at that PC's keyboard, you can do while remoted in via RDC. :)
