Setup an FTP / SSH server.

I'd recommend uploading files through Remote Desktop (if you're running Windows) or SFTP/SCP (if you're running Linux).

To upload a file with RD, make sure that you have the option set to share local drives before you initiate the connection, then either drag-and-drop files between your local computer's hard drive and the remote one (in Windows Explorer) or copy and paste the files.

To upload a file with SCP, connect to the server with your normal login information in a client such as WinSCP or FileZilla (when set to SCP mode instead of FTP mode).

You could also run a regular FTP server, if you'd prefer, but it would require a little work to set up. We talk about that option in this KB entry: http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewto ... =46&t=4268

Ok, I setup the virtual hard drive in Remote Desktop Connection so everything works fine.
Thanks!
