I'm using enterprise manager on my client to set up an import job of a remote text file into a remote sqlserver table. I right-click on the table and select all tasks then import data. When I select text file as my "From" data source I'm required to enter a path to the data source. I use "My Network Places" to build the path to the remote text file. When I'm done I get the following path: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\SE9VECG2\ImportTextFile[1].txt. Can I use my client enterprise manager or do I have to use terminal services to access the server's enterprise manager?

If you are running this manually, and you have permissions to the source file, then you can run it in your own EM. If you want to schedule it as a job, you can build that in your own EM, but it will run under the server's authorization/permissions.
