How Can I Transfer Data Between a Local Computer and a Windows ECS?

Method 1: Install a Data Transfer Tool

Install a data transfer tool, such as FileZilla on both the local computer and the Windows ECS to transmit data.

Method 2: Configure Local Disk Mapping

  1. Log in to the local computer.
  2. Press Win+R to open the Run text box.
  3. Enter mstsc to start the remote desktop connection.

  6. Select Drives and Other supported Plug and Play (PnP) devices and click OK to map all disks on the local computer to the Windows ECS.
    If you want to map only certain disks on the local computer to the Windows ECS, expand Drives and select the desired ones.
