With terminal services and remote desktop you have the option upon connecting to whatever desktop you're about to connect to... to attach to that computer's local drives for file transfer or whatever... did that make better sence?

Apple Remote Desktop provides a copy feature which is pretty inconvenient for anything more than moving a file or folder to a single location on the remote machine. To mount the machine's drives, turn on file sharing on that machine and access them in the Finder using the standard Go -> Connect To Server... method.

Okay cool... I was kind of looking for a "feature"... but that's cool too if not a bit of a hack... but it will work none the less...

Also take a look at the VNC clients for OSX. I use showdesktop and VNC thing. Both are free. It's very cool. From my laptop I can see and control the desktop on both my dual 500 and my PC (a much faster alternative to VPC).
