Windows Forum / Windows XP / Remote Desktop / February 2004Is file filetransfer via RD slower than using....
Is file filetransfer via RD slower than using normal fileshared folders If I copy a file within a RD session and pastes it in my real Windows session, is that file transfer slower than if I would have a mapped share and copied the file that way? Hope you understand how I mean : I have only port 3389 openend and if I want to use normal filesharing within my LAN I guess I would have to open more ports which means less safety? Yep.. Much slower.. This is due to the fact that RDP was not optimized for file transfers and it is encrypted, adding more overhead.

I beleive it's not a good way to transfer files. The RD session must also be opened all the time when I transfer. Didn't think of that first :) A VPN would be better in this case. The RDP file redirection is easier to setup and is good for copying a single "quick" file, but definitely isn't ideal for multiple/big files.
