Reverse Drive Mapping from TSplus Server to Client Workstation

TSplus Remote Access currently supports redirecting local client drives into the remote session through paths such as:

\\tsclient\[letter]

I would like to request the reverse functionality.

After a TSplus RemoteApp connection has been established, the TSplus Connection Client should optionally create a mapped drive on the user's local Windows workstation that points to a predefined directory on the TSplus server.

Conceptually, this could work similarly to:

\\tsserver\[share]

The user could then access server-side files directly from the local Windows File Explorer and open them using locally installed applications.


The mapping should exist only while the TSplus connection is active and should be removed automatically when the session ends.


Administration requirements

Ideally, administrators could configure:

  • Server source directory

  • Client drive letter or share name

  • User-specific paths using variables such as %USERNAME% or %USERPROFILE%

  • Read-only or read/write access

  • User/group-based assignment

  • Automatic mapping when the RemoteApp session starts

  • Automatic removal when the RemoteApp session ends

  • Multiple mappings if required

File access should be transported through the existing encrypted TSplus connection, without requiring direct SMB connectivity between the workstation and the TSplus server.
