Security Policy: MS servers (2003, 2008, 2012, ++) file transfer question.

Hi,
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.  

Q:  How can files be copied between MS servers with the below security requirements:
\\server111\c$\folder\file  -->  \\share$\folder\file   -->  \\server222\c$\folder\file

Main Goal: For MS servers (2003, 2008, 2012, ++), only Users with ADMIN permission Users are allowed on the c$ drive.  
IIS Developers are not given Admin permissions.  
Developers are given a specific GPO to allow only what is required for them to do their job with a higher then default User permissions, but lower then ADMIN permissions.  

With the following mostly related to, but not limited to, MS IIS web development process:  DEV   -->  Staging -->  Production  and the transfer of files between the 3 phases.  With DEV, Staging & Production environments having its own server instance.

My company has the following security requirements #1-5 below.

1.      No Local Shares (except for Users Home drives)
1.a.      This is for the purpose of preventing a Public server being mapped to a Private share.
2.  IIS Developers do not have Admin permissions
3.  RDP by Admin User not allowed
4.  share$ are accessed by Admin permission only
5.  No file transfer agent (FTP, SFTP, ect)
6.  Local Admin User is not allowed

Thanks, Scott

> No Local Shares

Without creating a share, users can't see, and thus, copy files.
