You should configure your Remote Desktop session so that you can access your local drives from the
Amazon EC2 instance. If you use the shortcut provided by the AWS Management Console, right-click
the shortcut and select Edit. On the Local Resources tab, in the Local devices and resources section,
click the More button. In the following dialog box, select the Drives check box to make your local drives
available.
You can also bring up a Remote Desktop session to your Amazon EC2 instance from the AWS Toolkit
for Visual Studio. If you connect from the Toolkit, the Remote Desktop session is already configured so
that your local drives are available.
Connect to your Amazon EC2 instance as Administrator using the password that you retrieved from the
AWS Management Console. Once you are connected, copy both the program and the AWS assembly
(AWSSDK.dll) to the instance.
