I have a windows service running on my server. I need to copy a file from
a remote linux server that requires a username and password. Can this be
done? If so how?
First you have to consider what account the service is running under. If
it's LocalSystem, you will be severly limited in your ability to go "outside
of the box." Second, what mechanism will you be using to talk to the Linux
server? This will determine what you'll need to do to pass the login
credentials.
