Firstly, I have to refer you to man page:

$ man rdesktop

And also run rdesktop without any switches to see an excellent list of 
switches available:

$ rdesktop

In particular you are looking for the "-r" switch, e.g.

$ rdesktop -r disk:anyname=/home/user/folder

Replace "anyname" with the name of the share as it appears under Windows, and 
the path to any directory to which the user has access, even the home 
directory should work fine.

This will basically mount a network share under windows, that you can browse 
and drag/drop between, in the way that you are wanting, simply via "My 
Computer".

There may be oddities about 2008 server, but generally that is how you would 
do it, and it works beautifully in my experience.
