Windows – How to get files from Mac OS X desktop to Remote Server

macossshterminal.appwindows

I typically use an FTP client to get files up to a server. But this time I was given remote access. So I am using Windows Remote Desktop Connection (on a Mac) and I am logged into the server. I see the window (looks just like a Windows computer inside of a Mac application) and navigated to the correct folder on the server where the files need to go. I have the files on my desktop and literally want to drag them to the window of the server, but that doesn't work.

I assume it's more advanced and I have to use the Mac App "Terminal" to get the files up but I have no idea how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Firstly, don't use RDC use CoRD. IMHO it's far superior to Microsoft's effort.

Using CoRD, setup a new connection checking 'Forward disks' in the process. Once you connect to the server open up 'My Computer' and you'll see your local drives mounted remotely as network shares.

You can then drag and drop to your hearts content :)
