The most likely explanation is that the account you were logged in on using your own computer did not have rights to read the files on the network share. When you logged into the server, share rights to the files were not an issue, since you were logged on locally, and since you had write privliges in your own disk, you could copy the files.

no this is not because of rights.
everyone has full rights to the share
but thanks for your answer

Make sure that, if it's a mapped drive, that the mapped drive is shared and that the users have full control to use it. I know you said that the users have full control to the files, but what about to the server and it's drive(s)? I would double check just to make sure that the user you are logging on as has full control and not just a read permission.
