Hi Mike thanks for the ideas. All i'm trying to do is move a directory of files 
to another directory. The location of these directories will be on a fileserver 
somewhere. The webapp needs to authenticate in order to do this. My thinking 
was to use the SmbFile class to manage this, but i'm told using the smb:// URL 
addressing style won't work on our network, and neither will http://
