Issue:
Would like to copy files from local workstation to remote MS Windows server.

Solution:
If using RDesktop, you can use the -r disk flag like so:
$ rdesktop myserver.mindwatering.local -r disk:share=/home/myid/downloads -g 1382x768

This will create the share named "share" on the remote server. The shared folder is "my" downloads folder.

RDP uses the -U flag, file transfer uses the -R flag. The -R flag also does the RDP session but maps a folder to share locally to the server.
$ rdesktop -u myloginid myserver.mindwatering.local
vs
$ rdesktop -u myloginid myserver.mindwatering.local -r disk:share=/home/myid/downloads
