I am crawling through the development of a small COM Object that has to check a number of directories for a file on a remote resource. We have 90 offices that complete daily file transfers via dialup to a ras sever. When they have completed the transfer a file is ftp'd to the RAS server (i.e dnld.ok). Our help line staff would like to view a list off offices that have that file in thier directory via the browser along with some other things. Each office has a directory associated with thier office code containg several subdirectories. When I started I was thinking of taking the adir() getting the list offices, checking each for the file, building a HTML table and passing the list back to ASP. I am using NTLM, NTFS, IIS 4.0., and a trust has been established across the two domains. I can map a drive from the web server to the RAS server if that helps. I am looking for a solution to this particular problem but also if someone could point me to some "good" info regarding this whole security/access to resources scenario with NT and IIS. I have read numerous acticles talking around how to access NT resources but nothing said how to actually do it.

Thanks again
