Can't answer your VPN question. Someone else surely can.
While you could upgrade to Windows 2003 to get this functionality,
that might involve substantial costs. You will need a 2003 server
CAL and 2003 TS CAL for every user or device that connects to your
TS. Note that if you owned your XP Pro desktops before 24 April
2003, you can apply for a free TS CALs for these clients.
Installing Citrix on top of W2K TS would also give you this
feature, but would cost even more, and is in my opinion overkill
if you just want to transfer files to and from your desktop.
There are other 3th party utilities that give you this
functionality. Have a look at TSDropCopy from
http://www.analogx.com/contents/down...ystem/tsdc.htm
or install the FTP service on your server and use any FTP client.
