you need to remember that COPY, XCOPY, and the Explorer COPY functions are client copy command, they copy the file from source to memory, and then to target. If you want to copy from a local server source to a local server target, from a remote vpn client, you're best off using an RDP session to control a machine local to the servers' network

While on the VPN it appears that if I want to move a file from Folder A on the SERVER SHARE to Folder B the file is transferred from Folder A (on server) --> laptop computer then --> Folder B (on server). Over a slow link this makes moving files around VERY SLOW. Is there a better way to move files around over a VPN.
