Question : Problem trying to download files to the desktop via ftp using remote desktop....

I'm trying to download files via FTP to a server while I'm logged on to that server using remote desktop.  I'm logged in under an administrator account of the local machine (not my domain credentials), and I'm using the following RDP console switch (mstsc -v:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX /F -console) to gain control of the desktop.  I've also verified that the user I'm logged on as is part of the local RDP admin group.

The FTP site is internal so I'm not going outside the the corporate firewall.  Also, from my own personal workstation that I'm logged onto (this is also the workstation from which I RDP from), I can successfully download files from the FTP directory.  Therefore, my thought is I've got the FTP side configured properly.

I'm guessing there is some local policy I've got to enable/disable that will allow me to download files while using remote desktop.

I'm using W2k3 server.

Any help would be appreciated.
thx.
donald.
