A combination of connectivity methods makes the best solution
In my December column, I discussed how Windows 2000 Service Pack 1's (SP1's) Terminal Services Advanced Client (TSAC) provides remote users with Web-based terminal server access to network business-productivity applications. I mentioned that I've started using Win2K Server Terminal Services when I need to access bandwidth-hungry applications (e.g., my office-based accounting software) that RAS isn't capable of delivering over paltry modem lines.

Sean Daily's Remote Possibilities columns about Terminal Services Advanced Client (TSAC--December 2000 and January 2001) have provided me with much insight into Windows 2000. I've implemented TSAC through our firewall, and I'm pleased with the performance. The one problem I have is that I can't perform cut-and-paste operations to copy files to and from the Win2K Server Terminal Services session and the local client session. I installed the Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit and applied the hotfix to rdpclip.exe so that the regular Terminal Services client has that capability. Do you know whether this functionality will extend to the Web client?

At this time, the copy feature that Rdpclip provides works with only the regular RDP client, not the TSAC, ActiveX-based client. We can hope that Microsoft will change this situation in a future service pack.
