How to configure and use Direct File Transfer in Thinfinity® Remote Desktop 6.0

With Thinfinity Remote Desktop 6.0 we introduced an enhanced method for Direct File Transfer. Features like Drag and Drop make the entire process extremely easy and convenient. We simplified the way users interact with their local and remote files, providing the necessary tools for your user’s day-to-day activities.

To take advantage of all the features, the admin will need to install an executable component called Thinfinity® Remote Desktop WebBridgeWebBridge will enable the ability to Drag and Drop files straight from the browser. This component also will create a temporary Virtual Disk called “ThinDisk” that the users can alternatively use as the main directory to safely and easily transfer files from and to the remote machine.

In order to get this installer, please contact [email protected].

Now let’s jump into the installation process:

  • First off, run the installer “Thinfinity_RDTools_v5.0_Setup_x64.exe”.

Bear in mind, that Thinfinity® Remote Desktop WebBridge has to be installed on the Remote Desktop machine you wish to upload/download files to/from. The client computer does not require to install of any plug-in or add-on.
