The crux of this is that the user under which you try to access the remote
dir must be the same user that your script is running as. This become a
real pain when you tie this in with permissions across domains. So, on your
win3k box you need to impersonate in asp.net the user with permissions and
allow asp.net to run on behlaf of that trusted user. I've not tried it
between trusted domains, but it will be a pain I expect.

Why dont you cut your losses and pass the text as a post request to your NT4
web server and have asp create the file for you on the NT 4 box.
