This routine works for us to authenticate and copy to Windows machines -
<exec executable="net">
<arg line="use \\${deployment.server}\c$
/user:${deployment.server}\${login.id} ${login.password}"/>
</exec>
<delete dir="\\${deployment.server}/c$/auto-deploy"/>
<copy todir="\\${deployment.server}/c$/auto-deploy">
<fileset dir="${target.dir}">
<include name="**"/>
</fileset>
</copy>

Subject: Windows authentication
I want to deploy stuff to a server accessible only by its UNC path supplying a
username and password. This is usually done using Windows Explorer. I think
this is called Windows Authentication, or NTLM, or both - not sure.
What are my options using Java? Specifically, using Ant?
The clients I want to run my Ant script from are also Windows.
So far, I've found the following:
http://jcifs.samba.org/
http://www.luigidragone.com/networking/ntlm.html - from 2002
I'm not at all sure any of it is appropriate, so I'm looking for advice.
My current solution uses Explorer to handle authentication:
<property name="share" value="\\192.168.111.222\bla"/>
<exec executable="explorer">
<arg value="${share}"/>
</exec>
<input message="Anmeldung an ${share} klar? Dann ENTER druecken!"/>
<copy file="test.txt" todir="${share}"/>
This requires a Windows OS and a user. There might be something better.
