Hi there,
I'm developing an app that reads a plain text file from a remote AS400-
IFS Service (samba-like stuff I guess). The problem is that this
access is not allowed without authentication, and I cannot
authenticate the access from within my app (it's written in a very old
programming language and I cannot change :( ). I was wondering if it's
there any way to run my app from within an vbscript but call the app
just after I have authenticated into the IFS service.

There should be no difference from authenticating with a Windows-
running machine, it should be like accessing a password protected
shared folder on a remote Windows 2003 Server, for instance.

Thanks in advance.

Can you map a drive from Windows? If so use the FileSystemObject to map a
drive and pass use credentials.
