Guest access is prohibited.

I am trying to get a customer hosted on our IBM I and in order for them to view an image, they have to read a file via UNC from their remote PC that exists on our IBM I in a shared folder that allows guest access. Their IT will not allow guest access via the firewall. The only way I can get it to work is to map a drive to the shared folder and set it up with the IBM I credentials that exists on our hosted IBM i. But I know mapped drives can be a security risk. Any ideas on how to accomplish this? I cannot run a CL program with hijacked security because this is a windows function. There are hundreds of users and it would not be feasible to add them to the security on the guest shared folder. I see searching the internet you can create a shortcut or set the path up in quick access. But do not see any way to force that to use the IBM I credentials.
