I am using Jump Desktop 3.0.1. (71) on a Macbook Pro running Mac OS X 10.8.3.  I connect to a remote Windows 7 Professional PC.  I have the Jump Desktop folder sharing preference set to /users/macbook/documents/data.  I have copied and pasted files from the remote PC to my Macbook before in the paste with no problems a month ago.  Today I can't figure out how to do it.  When I connect to the remote PC with Jump Desktop, select and copy the remote file then go into the Macbook finder and the shared folder and try to paste the paste option is grayed out.  I can't find any information on file sharing or copy and paste on the Jump Desktop website.

Can some please tell me how to copy and paste files from a remote Windows PC to my Macbook Pro?  Thanks very much.

  Hi Bill,

  When you share a folder with the PC, the folder appears on your PC as a disk drive. On your PC you can open up the drive and paste files directly into the shared drive. Try this:

  1. After connecting to your Windows 7, double click the "Computer" icon.

  2. Explorer should show you a list of drives attached to the computer including the shared folder - in your case this the drive will be called 'data'. 

  3. Just copy paste files inside WIndows 7 the remote to the 'data' drive on your Windows 7 machine.

  4. Once you're done pasting the files open up the '/users/macbook/documents/data' directory on your MacBook and you'll be able to see the files you pasted in step #3 there.

  Hi,

  I have the trial version (3.0.5) installed and connect from MacProOSLion to Windows XP Profesional. Connect thru Sonicwall SSL VPN client.

  The shared folder is defined on my MacPro but cannot find a drive for file sharing on the Windows PC.  Any sugestions?

  @Terry, in your computer's settings in Jump make sure you check the Folder Sharing option in the Peripherals section.
