FolderShare on Terminal Services?

Can FolderShare work on Win2003 Terminal Services?

I have remote salespeople who need access to documents (but I don't want to
share entire remote drives) for printing.

FolderShare seems like a good solution (share remote files with the
connecting laptop), but will it function under TS?


Thanks.
 
Is that a product or are you talking about shared folders?

Are you trying to

share folders on TS server to connecting laptop

or

share folders on connecting laptop to TS server applications?

Thanks

@Helge: FolderShare is a product (Google it for more info).

@Rong: my user is connecting from his laptop (in UK) to a remote Terminal
Server here (in US) and needs to be able to print documents stored on the
main (Terminal) Server here.

It looks like remote printing is out of the question as he's using a USB
multifunction printer, and Terminal Services seems to be utterly deficient in
this respect. So I'd like to setup FolderShare on the TS for him (he already
has it on his laptop) to copy documents he needs to print to a folder on his
laptop.

I prefer this to sharing his local laptop C drive (via Remote Desktop
Connection) to discourage mass file copying (subtle distinction, I know).


Thanks.

I don't know much about FolderShare, but one workaround of this can be

1) map the folder on laptop to a network drive (e.g. Drive Z)
2) Select the network drive (Z drive in this case) to redirect in Remote
Desktop Connection

Thanks

Rong
