Is there any way to connect to a remote Windows server via RDP but not graphically?

What options do I have simply to connect to a remote Windows machine and access my files, but not have to do it via a graphic interface.

i.e. is there an equivalent of SSH or SCP (file access is really what I'm looking to do) for Windows?

I will add the caveat that I do not manage the machine, so installing any services would probably not be kosher, although I do have administrator access to the machine.
