You may be able to get away with UNC paths, ala[writefile file=\\servername\c\websites\mywebroot\onefolder\insert\filename.txt]but I wouldn't count on that to work either.However, and this is a very important point, the WebCatalog service is run as SYSTEM (by default) and the SYSTEM user does not have any rights to any machine except the local machine. You will need to change the user that WebCatalog runs under to an account that does have such rights.My considered professional advice: DON'T DO THIS!!!
