I appreciate your on-going help (and everyone else's). My ultimate goal is
to run a remote 3rd-party (command line) utility that will copy data from a
DB back to my machine. Before tackling this however, I'm simply trying to
invoke "xcopy.exe" on the remote box to copy something back to my own
machine as a test case (to establish the basic technique). I will explore
what you and everyone else has said in further detail but you can confirm
this is doable? I've tried coding it as per the link I previously posted
which appears as if it should work based on my investigation. If it is in
fact a security issue however (no surprise there), well security is a deep
subject of course and frequently difficult to unravel. And while I'm
extremely familiar with the basic Windows security model (security
descriptors, privileges, etc.), many issues such as this aren't clearly
documented. So the fact that my test code is running error free yet nothing
is getting copied (the same code works locally however), well, you can
understand my frustration (and note that I've been programming on MS
platforms for 20 years - I shouldn't have to become a security expert to
figure this out). Thanks again.
