file-copy

I'd like to copy backup archives from a remote server to my client machine. In the past, I've installed an FTP server on the remote machine and directed local server backups to dump into that directory. I'd then FTP in from my client machine.

Just wondering if there is a simpler way to do this using Win 7 (Client) Win Server 2008?

Robocopy? RDC command line options?

For example, I can easily remote desktop in and drag the files from the server to my local machine. If there is an easy command line way to do this, then I don't have to setup an FTP server which is ideal.

Thanks.
