'mkdir' and 'copy' to a shared drive via PHP

[TLawrence]

Can anyone help me figure out how to create directories and copy files to a shared drive?  The path I'm using seems to be correct since I no longer get a "path does not exist" error, but I'm getting 'permission denied' errors whenever I attempt to make a directory on the shared drive or copy a file to it via PHP.

 

I've read that the web server needs to be set up or treated as a user on the system?  Can someone explain how I go about doing this?  Or if this is not the solution, can someone point me in the right direction?

 

I'm using an IIS 5 server.

 

Thanks in advance.
