We are currently requiring the use of Remote Desktop Connections for numerous users to access their office computers from home. The connections are running through a secure VPN tunnel and are working as designed, with one exception. We do not want users accessing there home hard drives through this method. With the RDP client by default the sharing of the home drives is unchecked, but is very easy to enable it and then users can transfer internal documents onto a home computer or allow Viruses from the home computer onto the Corporate Network.
Even if this can stop a casual user (and a casual user unlikely know how to share a disk), I think it is possible to write a program which will encode any file as image which can be viewed on the office computer and this image can be easily grabbed from the home screen and decoded back. Maybe these programs are already available on internet?
