Hi David,

given your information, you could a) copy the file to a string using filetostr(); b) impersonate the account with server write privileges; c) write the string to the server using strtofile().

Would it be practical, when the user says to transfer the file to find a way to give the server account read privileges on the file and then revoke them after the file is copied?
