Learning has never been so easy!

One of the problems with using Citrix is that you need to have a way to get files from your local computer into Citrix. Unfortunately this can be a challenge for some people. In this How To I am going to show the steps that you need to take in order to move files from your local computer into a network drive in Citrix.

These steps are meant for peopole that access a Desktop connection using Citrix's XenApp (so you see a normal computer desktop when you connect to Citrix).

12 Steps total

Step 1: Locate the files outside of Citrix

The first step to getting files into Citrix is to make sure you know where they are on your local computer.

In this How To I am going to assume they are pictures and the pictures are located in the My Pictures folder.

I am also going to assume the Citrix Server is using Server 2008R2 (looks like Windows 7) and your local computer has Windows 7 on it.

Step 2: Start Citrix

Now you need to log in to Citrix using the procedures that your IT department has given you.

Step 3: Identify and locate the destination of the files

Once you are in Citrix please locate and Identify the location you want the files to go to.

the first step of this is to open Windows Explorer. To do this go to start > Computer

Step 4: Select the destination location

Double click on the drive you want to put the pictures on

Step 5: Select the destination

select the folder you want to put the files in

To make the next steps easier also drag the window (by clicking on the tool bar) all the way to the left. This will make use of a shortcut feature that will make the window open only on the left side of your screen)

Step 6: Prepare to find the files you want to upload

Now we need to find the files you want to upload from inside of Citrix.

To do this open windows explorer once again (Start>Computer) and drag the window to the right hand side (just like we did in the previous step)

Step 7: Find the files you want to upload

Double click on the entry that says Local Disk (C: on )

Step 8: Navigate to My Pictures

double click on the folder called Users

Step 9: Navigate to My Pictures

Find the folder that is titled with your user name.
(there will be a folder for every person that has logged in to your computer)

Step 10: Navigate to My Pictures

Double click on the My Pictures folder (or Documents if the file is in My Documents on your local computer, or what ever folder the file is in)

This is the same file that was selected in step 1.

Step 11: Copy the file to Citrix

Drag (by clicking, with the right mouse button, on the picture and holding the mouse button down) and move the file to the window on the left. One your mouse is on the left side of the screen (in the folder that is open there) let go of the mouse button.

Select 'Copy here' and the file will start to copy from your local computer to Citrix.

Note this copy process will take some time depending on how large the file is and how quick your internet connection is.

Step 12: Copy more files

Repeat step 11 as many times as needed to copy all the files you would like from your local computer to Citrix.

You can also navigate to a new location either on your local computer or Citrix as needed to copy other files.

Hopefully these steps will help you copy files from your local computer to Citrix. You can use this process to copy files from any location on your computer to any location you can access through Citrix and back the other way.

Please note that the upload and download of files is greatly dependent up on your internet connection speed and the size of the files you are trying to upload or download.
