Hi Monks,

I am trying to copy files between two systems (both win 2000).
One is server and another is normal system. The target system
has a shared directory which has full permissions to move the
files to. I am using the following chunk of code.

system("copy ..\text.html \\system1\shareddir");
[download]

I am in the server so I can access any file. In the above the
system1 is the system to which I intend to copy. If I invoke
the copy command from the command line I able to copy
successfully, but if I want to run the above system command
through my cgi/perl script its failing. Also in server
I can copy to different directories so I assume the problem
is not at the server. The error msg is 

Access is denied. 0 file(s) copied.

Any idea why I am having this error?

Thanks in advance,

Raj.
