access fldr on firewalled websrvr from domain

I am having trouble allowing access to a folder on a standalone 2003 web
server in our DMZ from users in the domain. Access is from inside a program
that stores the fqn '\\server_name\folder' of the target. If I type this
fqn in the run box I get prompted for credentials. I can authenticate here
and gain access, but from within the program there is no authentication
prompt. So how can I setup security on the folder to allow access? I have
tried 'Anonymous logon' and 'everyone' with no success.
The folder that I want to share is inside of a folder that is IIS is using
as a website folder.

Thanks
Ken

The Application uses the credentials of the currently logged on user who is
interactively running it.

That user account does not exist on the other Server. So you will have to
create duplicate accounts on the other server that match the accounts of the
users who might run the Application. You will manually have to keep the
password synced if the users ever change their password. Then give proper
permissions to the proper account on that server.
