Copying from a Client to the Finder

Using Apple Remote Desktop, you can copy files, applications, or folders from a remote computer to the administrator's computer. The process requires that you find the file you want to copy, using a report or locating them in a control window.

Note: Copied items retain their original owners and permissions.

  1. Select a computer list in the Remote Desktop window.
  2. Select one or more computers in the selected computer list.
  3. Choose a file search report to find the item.

    See Finding Files, Folders, and Applications for more information.

  4. Select the item you want to copy in the report window.
  5. Drag the item you want to copy from the report window to the administrator's Finder, or click the Copy To This Computer button in the menu bar of the report window.

Alternatively, you can drag items from a control window to the administrator computer's desktop.
