A small addition:
Replacing the copy command with exec('copy d:\localweb\copytest\*.*
v:\copytest2\*.*' ) doesn't work either. When I issue the same command
from the DOS-prompt (copy d:\localweb\copytest\*.* v:\copytest2\*.*), it
works... Why, why, why?
Maybe this helps: the local webserver runs with Apache 2.0.55 (Win32) and
PHP 4.4.1
The web server runs with different user rights than you as the admin. You
need to grant the same rights to the web server user, so it has permission
to write to the network drive. Maybe create a new account on the network
drive for the server. I don't know about apache, but IIS servers username is
usually something like IUSR_<COMPUTERNAME>, like IUSR_WEB or IUSR_SERVER or
whatever... That user role needs to have access to the remote filesystem
too.
