RE: Trying to use RUNRMTCMD to perform a data transfer to a Windowsserver

I usually see this error when the file transfer is trying to access a file on a 
network drive.

By default, the RUNRMTCMD daemon runs under a system account that doesn't have 
any network privileges.  You can however change this.  Also, note that since no 
user is actually signed on, you can't expect the users networked drives to be 
there.  Either use the UNC path name (\\server\share\) or call a .BAT file that 
does the mappings needed.

HTH,
