Hello

Currently, to download files from a Windows 2003 server running
Terminal Services, I need to log on and run a utility to download
files from my home directory to my client host.

I was wondering if some utility was available that could automate the
process:
1. Connect to the TS server
2. Zip files from my home directory, possibly using a .BAT file
3. Upload this zip file to an FTP server
4. Download the zip file from the FTP server

Thank you.

Why so difficult? Why not just map your home directory to the same
shared folder, both from your client and the TS?

Agreed. That was my first thought, also. Then the OP could write a batch
file or VB script to do the actions.
