You can. You can configure this under Local Resources. I think clipboard
is shared by default, so if you put something on the clipboard on the
remote machine, it makes it to the local machine automatically.
The way to transfer files, is a little funny, though. You make the local
drives available to the remote machine, so that they appear as shared
there. Since this is a security issue, it's not recommendable to always
expose your disks.
We don't use PC Anywhere in our shop, but we use PC Duo which is a
similar product. About all customers has PC Duo clients on their
servers, and that's how we connect to them. The major advantage is
that with Remote Desktop, is that if someone else connect, you may lose
your session. With PC-Duo you can see that someone else is there.
And moving files is easier with PC-Duo than Remote Desktop.
