[CLOSED] FILEDEF
Is it possible to provide a login and password in order to save a file to a UNC path such as a windows shared folder on a server? If not is there a way to do this another way within the fex file itself?

Such as:
FILEDEF DATA DISK \\server\folder\\filename...-U username -P passwd

Have you thought about using NET USE, then filedef the drive.

e.g.
! NET USE {driveletter}: \\server\share {password} /USER:{username}
-RUN 

FILEDEF DATA DISK {driveletter}:\location...


Here is the help on the NET USE command
NET USE
[devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume] [password | *]]
        [/USER:[domainname\]username]
        [/USER:[dotted domain name\]username]
        [/USER:[username@dotted domain name]
        [/SMARTCARD]
        [/SAVECRED]
        [[/DELETE] | [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]]

NET USE {devicename | *} [password | *] /HOME

NET USE [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]

I think this might work if the WebFocus Server were a Windows Server. Our WebFocus server is installed on ZLinux and not Windows Server.

I guess you will have to use a linux command instead.

Can you get the share mounted to the file system ?
