How to create a shared folder on a remote Windows machine using C#?

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.

Answer 1

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).
