Actually we can take benefit from the disk sharing feature of mstsc. Here is how it works:
Go to find the RDP file amazon asked you to downloaded onto your local PC. right-click --> Edit
Go to "Local Resources" tab --> "Local devices and resources" --> "More" button
Expand the "Drives" and check the disks you want to share when you TS to the remote box.
after connect, you will see the new drives in My Computer already mounted for you.
If you want to keep things organized and get better results, create a folder named "c:\publish" (or something else), and then run "SUBST s: c:\publish" in dos prompt. Now you will have a s letter that points to your folder. This way you can map only the folder with files to transfer to the server (the s) with no need to sync the entire c driver.
For me, copy speed is 200-300kB/Second. Enjoy!
