Question
I want to manage shared folders on a remote machine from a C# application. Is there a way to do this using C#?
I know WMI can do remote management but I haven't found a way to manage file and folder sharing.
Solution
The Win32_Share WMI class can be used to manage shared resources, including folders. The MSDN documentation page includes some sample code for creating a share (see the example by Radjin Sardjoe Missier on that page).
