I can see all the drives in the remote machine and I”m the admin of that PC, but I think its because it gets connected through citrix and not the normal remote desktop.

Hmm… Can you see your local system partitions in “My Computer” of your remote system ?

I tried the first one and when sharing files over the internet through Remote desktop, it said cannot copy file from the source. I was trying to copy content from a US machine from India. It was not successful.

You can use ctrl-alt-end to bring up Windows Task Manager. Then you can choose to shut down or even restart.
