Markus,
I found the solution, and you are correct. It is the responsibility of the
client to also stream the data to the server. Unfortunately, Microsoft's
own article and sample code fail to mention this small fact, for some
reason.
I actually found an even simpler way to do these types of copy. ADO with
the Internet Publishing provider can handle it, and that's the method I
went with.
Thanks,
Shannon
