in reply to Sharepoint manipulation

With my brief experience with sharepoint, I recall being able to map a drive to the sharepoint 'attachments' directory (or equivalent) and being able to directly manipulate the filesystem that makes up sharepoint. IF you can do either map a drive or browse to the UNC, a simple file copy should work just fine.

    I'd be wary of this. Sharepoint does an awful lot with its SQL server, and shoving files around outside the 'normal' interface has not always done what I'd like.

    Does josephjohn even have UNC access to the SharePoint file system? Lots of SharePoint portals have content managers for site trees (e.g., y'r h'ble ob't) who are outside the firewall and can't do anything with UNC or mapped drives.
