Check the date and time to make sure they are the fresh ones.

Your next challenge is to get them to the client PCs. RDP direct to the server and copy the file if you can. Zip the folder, rename it as a .txt and attache to a gmail? Or get out your sneakers and usb thumbdrive :)

Ah - I remember know how I started the process:
