Can PHP XCOPY across network?

[tunage]

Is there any way that i can use php to copy a file from the webserver local drive to another network drive. (both windows)

I can do this fine using a batch file on the webserver but cant get it to work through php. Ive tried using exec and system but these wont work. I think it might work if the destination folder had an IUSR_ account but this isnt possible.

system('xcopy c:\temp\1 c:\temp\2'); - works fine
system('xcopy c:\temp\1 y:\temp\2'); - dosent work, doesnt work if enter full network path either

Any ideas?

hi ...

you should give credentials to the webservice, either through services.msc (click the service and set the credentials in log on)

Or in my case I use IIS, you should set the anonymous account to use a domain account which has credentials for the network... so instead of the IUSER account set it to use a network account which can copy.
