transfering files via cisco vpn

[Teckymk2]

Hi all,

i am trying to transfer files from a xp machine through a vpn connection to a windows server 2000 machine (using remote desktop)

i have tried doing \\192.3\c$ etc and i cannot transfer, the server does not have the internet and the user is refusing to place the files on it because it will cost his company due to their IT being out sourced.

i thought the FTP/TFTP might work but that didnt either.

Any ideas???

Do they have any internet computers on the same network as their 2000 server? If so, then why not transfer the files to it, then from there transfer them to the server? That's too easy, so I may be missing something...at least one of their computers should have internet, in which case you could ftp (not through the vpn)...

hi burt,

the 2 servers we need dont have the internet and they wont allow us access to any other server because they are not related to us

In what way are they being blocked from internet access? No default gateway? If that is the case then you won't be able to contact them via a vpn.

It sounds like you don't have permissions on their domain to access that share. Remember, when you VPN, you may be using domain credentials, but that does not log you into a domain. Try accessing the admin share and see if you get a login prompt: //ip_address/ipc$

It should prompt you for creds, once you log in on that domain, you should be able to access drives that you have permissions to.

If it is not a domain, the same rules can apply, you would have to use a login that is local to that machine (and has the correct permissions).
