Uploading files to remote servers varies a lot depending on the service and, of course, the file size. Most web-based applications handle this easily and the process is pretty quick. But if you need to work with legacy Windows applications running in the cloud, chances are the file upload process is painfully slow.
When applications run via Remote Desktop, file uploads are tolerable in short bursts but the more modern way to run these remote applications is via RemoteApp, which is really using RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) underneath but handles and prioritizes packet transfers differently rendering standard file uploading to a very slow process.
We'll discuss this briefly followed by a demonstration of one method using several technologies working in conjunction with each other to enable fast file uploads to a Windows program running remotely.
