We currently have two servers. SCO Unix Open Server 5.0.7 I think is the
version and a Windows Server 2003. Our website is hosted on our Windows
server. I have setup some secure pages on the server so clients can upload
data files to us. These data files are just text based files that we import
into our collecton software. Currently I have the files uploading to a
directory on the Windows server and nofity me via email that they have been
uploaded. I then have to move them to a Samba partition on the Unix box.
When the files are there I notify the person in the office that the files
have been uploaded and she runs menu process in our collection software to
load them into our system.

I want to be able to have the files uploaded directly to the right directory
on the Unix servers Samba partition. I can then modify my script to send
email to the proper party. I have a login script that maps the Samba
partition to all of our Windows clients, as well as the server. I have tried
to modify my upload script to loads the files to the directory on the Samba
partition using the UNC path. I have tried using the mapped drive letter.
It always fails because of authentication errors.

What server-side technologies are you using? ASP, ASP.NET, PHP, ... ?
