Windows – Remote Desktop Connection (Mac) does not share drive/folder to the Vista target

macosremote desktopwindows-vista

I have a Mac OS X 10.5/Intel system, runnging RDC 2.0.1 (latest as far as I know).

When I connect to the remote Windows Vista system, I can control the remote desktop, and everything behaves as expected.

However, when I follow the instructions for "Copy files between computers" or "I can't access my Mac hard disks", I do not see the mount point on my Mac appear in the Windows system.

The very-nice looking site is really short on detail: like picture or screen snapshot? Both articles are pretty vague…

The Mac disk or folder that you have
made available is listed with all
other disks and folders on your
Windows-based computer.

Any ideas on how to make this work? (Maybe I am looking in the wrong place, maybe this doesn't work in Vista, maybe I did something wrong?)

TIA, BenC

This is a super old question, but I noticed that Remote Desktop Silently ignores sharing for Home folders. It works for all directories expect for the Mac user Host folder /User/. The client does not show any errors while configuring it either.
