Hey monks, I need some advice. I need to write to a remote share on a windows domain. My perl script is in a webpage running on an IIS server. I need to write to another server on the same domain. To test, I created a share on my computer and tried to write to it from the script. One PC to another right, same idea. I tired to map a network drive but I get a permission error. I gave the "everyone" and "domain users" network group full control, but maybe the script needs IWAN and IUSER permissions? Those are the IIS network groups. Although those groups only pertain to the PC that IIS is running on. What permission does the perl script need? I've tried using virtual shares in IIS too but I couldn't get that to work either. Someone suggested having the perl script on the remote share so when it writes its actually locally. I don't think i want to do that. Anyway, i'd just like some advice. What's the best way to do this?
