Hello Peter,
If you're actually looking for a new document publishing application we
have an iSeries and Windows based solution called WebDocs for publishing
documents via the web.
Our product can utilize a drop folder that gets monitored for incoming
files.
In terms of folder security:
By utilizing Windows or iSeries security you should be able to secure
the drop folder adequately. You could also set up the folder on an
invisible Windows share by putting a $ sign at the tail end of the share
name. Then the file share will never show up for the users if they are
exploring.
Hope this helps.

subject: Adopted authority in a Windows Server environment
Group,
I've been given the task to investigate whether it is possible to use
some
kind of adopted authority in Windows.
Here's what we want to setup:
We currently have a document publishing application, triggered by the
user
in our iSeries application, which uses Lotus Notes. The document is
picked up by a Notes agent and sent to a Win2K file server.
We want/need to eliminate Notes, and replace it with an other package,
which would work by monitoring a folder somewhere on the network.
The idea is to let the user pick a file to publish (triggered from our
iSeries application), and drop the file in the "watched" folder.
However, we want to prevent the user from dropping the file via other
means (DOS copy, Explorer drag&drop, etc).
So what we need is a way to secure write/modify/delete access to the
drop
folder, so that only the application can put files there.
Is this at all possible?
I did quite a lot of googling, but could only find answers relating to
i5/OS (of course).
Thanks in advance,
