Answer 1

Does this help you in the right direction? I assume it's what your asking...

Map a Network Drive From Code for Cross-Domain File Copy.

The CodeProject link given on the site also gives the source code for downloading.

Answer 2

I recently had a similar issue and executing

net use \\machine.otherdomain myusername /USER:password

as part of the user's network logon was a solution for us. This is obviously not perfect but for our environment it was sufficient.
