    Hello,

    I am trying to retrieve some files from a troublesome hosting company. We do not have FTP access and it would prove costly to have FTP access established.

    However, we can currently gain remote access via a VPN to the server (Windows 2003 Server). Is there anyway to retrieve files from the server to a local machine via remote desktop without FTP?

    All ideas welcome!

    In the Remote Desktop window, click the Options button->Local Resource tab->More button. Place a check mark in "drives." After connectiong, you "should" see your drives from with Win Explorer to allow copy n paste of files.

    I didn't realise you could do that. Good stuff - I'll have to have a play.

    FYI-> The drive thing doesn't work when connecting to a Win2k machine.
