How to transfer files from remote cd drive to hard drive on same machine as cd drive?

[sigs]

I'm trying to copy files from a remote computer cd drive to a hard drive on the same remote machine? First I tried to drap and drop from one folder to another, I was prompted to answer "Move selected files?". But nothing happened. Then I tried to have two sessions connected to the same computer and tried to transfer the files from the cd drive to the hard drive but that just gave me red Xs all the way down the que. Is there a way to copy files from a remote machine's cd drive to the same remote machine's hard drive? Thanks for the help.
