Hi,
For this problem I would say it would be best to use IIS and Tomcat combo Because
IIS can authenticate users by using NTLM authentication scheme. This means that users
with in your domain can be automatically authenticated (by using Windows Intergrated
Authenticaton in IIS).
There are several ways to upload files to a server, one is by using MultiPart
Requests (Method POST). All you need is a MultiPartRequestParser and then you can
parse the files from the request and do what ever you like with em, such as upload
the files to a remote server. If you need to use NTLM authorisation for this It can
get little bit complicated. In theory you should be able to do it anyway, but not with
out the user giving out his username/password/domain combination, to authenticate
against the remote server. Then for step 2 (downloading files from a remote server
authenticated with NTLM) you could write a servlet that acts similar to a proxy.
This could be achived by using the

and last but not least
