Is there a way to copy domain user files remotely discretely? the user seem not saving the files to the domain shared drives so it could be a local folder on the domain connected laptop. Is there a way?

You could redirect their My Documents, etc to a shared drive on the server. They would still "think" they are saving locally but the files would actually be on the server.

yes, moving forward we will do that but for now, we need to secure some user files.

@AshKetchum If I need to copy files from a user, I just browse to their machine and copy. I just go to
"\nameofpc\c$" and copy files. The users won't have a clue. I do this all the time when I am migrating users to new workstations. There should be 2 backslash before the pc name. Not sure why its not showing up correctly here. -

\\nameofpc\c$@brandon220 use the backtick beside the 1 key makes it a "command" which will include all characters. It's using markup language.

@travisdh1 single backtick is for inline code
Triple backtick is for code block.

We know this is a domain, we don't know that the user is using a Windows PC. @AshKetchum is this a Windows PC? Also why the need to do so discreetly?
You can do as Travis/Jared said or use something like scp to do this.
