You can make a connection to a shared folder using the Win32 API (WNetAddConnection(), WNetAddConnection2() or WNetAddConnection3() are capable of connecting to a folder with share-level security; WNetAddConnection() will not provide direct access to user-level shares unless the current userid is a valid user for the folder.) Alternatively, the Windows Script Host's Wscript.Network COM object has a MapNetworkDrive method that could make the needed connection. Once the shared folder is mapped and access has been authenticated, you can freely access the folder via the mapped connection.
