Writing to Password Protected Folder

[LookingBeyond99]

This question is basically the same as PerlCoders but I wanted to get more in depth. I wrote a simple CGI program that output data to various HTML pages due to category chosen by the user. This works perfectly except when the data has to be written to a webpage that is behind a simple password folder. I have the password to this folder but simply dont know the code so I can access that folder and then write to that document. I hope that makes it clear.

So I basically want to know how I can let the program access that folder so I can print out to the webpage.

Thanks for the help and I will clarify anything that is not clear.

really, that's a filesystem level access you're attempting, and the win2000 filesystem is a mystery (to me). somewhere in the api that win2000 has, there will be the functions to do this (well, should be), and the perl module Win32::API should have the methods for envoking this. windows' lack of POSIX compliance really makes working with it hard...

one other possibility, if there is a way to access these password protected files from a command line (using some string of commands), you can much more easily duplicate this from within perl, just making system calls.

sorry i can't help any more. you might also try the win2000 forum, although more apporpriate would be a win2000 developer's forum (not sure, maybe one exists).

good luck. "If you think you're too small to make a difference, try spending a night in a closed tent with a mosquito."
