Hey,
 Making a few assumptions (correct me if I'm wrong)
 You're using rdesktop from your Ubuntu machine to connect to your
school's Windows server.

 From your Ubuntu box use `rdesktop -u sam -r disk:samtmp=/home/sam/tmp 1.2.3.4`
 Where 1.2.3.4 would be substituted for your school server address and
'/home/sam/tmp' is the local directory you want access to from the
rdesktop session and 'sam' is your remote username.
 You'd then type '\\tsclient\samtmp' into the address bar in your
remote session to get access.

cheers,
Owen.
