I'm currently generating documentation on one machine, and publishing it to a web server using the following commands in a script:

net use "\\someShare" PASSWORD /user:username
del /S /Q "\\someShare"
xcopy /E /Y Documentation\html\* "\\someShare\"

However, it feels like a really bad idea to have a password as plain text in the script, so I'm looking for alternatives to my current solution. Ideas?

I definitely would appreciate a solution that uses some kind of access control, as many different people should be allowed to publish their own documentation to the web server, but not mess with each other's docs.
