Why STRPCCMD? Why not just send the Excel file to be opened directly by Excel? What am I missing?

But.. even if you did use STRPCCMD, how is that less secure than opening up your computer's hard drive to the Internet?!

Someone in this string said something about using HTTP download
instead of IFS. How exactly did you see that working? Write the file
to the IFS in a location available to Apache, then use STRPCCMD to
launch IE and give IE the url to the apache webservers path to the
IFS, then IE will launch Excel because the file is a .csv? Sounds
much less secure than using an IFS drive mapping that only an
authenticated user can map to.
