Just ran into the same hassle, but I had a whole slug of domains to
fight my way thru - with multiple Warp and NT servers, each belonging
to a different department. Real kludge! The way I finally got around
all the domain rights (and System Admins!) was to run the FTP daemon on
the Warp machine then ftp all the files I needed with an appropriate
ftp client. Worked just fine from Win 3.1, Win 95 and the NT machines
- if I could ping I could transfer (assuming an ftp client for each
machine. I had minor glitches with trusted user domains and such, but
that was straightforward. Something like a gig of crap to transfer but
it ran at better than 4 meg on average so it sure beat the sneaker net
and floppies!
