One issue.
destination directory. I know that if I mount the directory as a drive
letter I am asked for this information. Won't I need to specify that.
On the other hand... If I was to code the coping directly by coding with
open read write close statements ... I'm not sure I know how to open a
file with domain/login/password. Is there some other functions I need?

No, but you don't need a class. Just write the code! It's *very* easy:
class ThreadParams {
public:
CString Source;
CString Target;
CWnd * wnd;
};
ThreadParams * parms = new ThreadParams;
parms->Source = _T("c:\\whatever\\*.*"); // for example
parms->Target = _T("\\\\server5\\x\\destinationdir"); // for example
AfxBeginThread(CopyThread, parms);
/* static */ UINT CMyClass::CopyThread(LPVOID p)
{
ThreadParams * parms = (ThreadParams *)p;
... copy files
parms->wnd->PostMessage(UWM_COPY_FINISHED);
delete parms;
return 0;
}
There are fine points, such as notifying the parms->wnd when each file is copied, which
you might want to do to update a progress bar or status in the status bar or something
like that.

My program needs to copy a series of files from the local box to a
network location. Some of the files could be quite some size and so I'm
thinking I need a separate thread to handle this work.
I would think this is a common task. Does anyone have a class that
implements the copy file functionality in a separate thread?
