Transferring files in Remote Desktopo Connection

[Arnold]

Using WinXP Pro as a client connecting remotely via
Remote Desktop Connection to a WIN2k Server runnint
Terminal Services. Can anyone tell me how to transfer
files from the server to the client over Terminal
Services/Remote Desktop Connection?

Before connecting configure the client for drive redirection. Then once the connection is made using
RD simply cut-n-paste between folders on the local and/or remote PC.

Can you explain this in a little more detail, please? I looked up the
Knowledge Base document, but I kinda hit a dead-end. I'm using WinXP pro to
connect to a VPN network. I then send a Wake-On-LAN ping from inside the
VPN which wakes up another WinXP Pro machine. Once it's fired up, I can
connect to it via Remote Desktop using it's internal static IP address.

When I connect to RD, the computers only knows IP addresses. They don't
know about computer names or shared folders. If I try doing a "net use" to
map a drive, I can't put in a shared computer name because it won't work.

There must be an easy way that I'm missing... It seems silly that there
isn't just a temporary folder created when RD starts that redirects files to
a local folder on the client machine.

What's the method between 2 WinXP Pro machines?
