How can I pass user login for UNC path?

I am trying to write a script that will access files on another
computer on the network but in a seperate domain. In order to access
the files, I need to first authenticate to the other domain as a
different user.

When I access files on another domain via explorer, it prompts for a
username/password. Is there some way I can pass this same information
through scripting to access a computer in the other domain?

I attempted to do this with impersonation, but if I understand
correctly, in order to impersonate a user, the user must exist on the
local computer running the script. The user that I would like to use
exists only on the other domain.

Does anyone know how this can be done?

Probably got the wrong end of the stick but can't this be done via XMLHTTP
or does the authentication issue get in the way ?
