Hi all,

I am accessing a shared folder from another server
and need to first change the permission of that shared folder.

How would I be able to do this easily?

Please any help would be appreciated?

If the account your code is running under doesn't already have Full Control permissions to the share, you can't do it. You cannot grant yourself more permissions than you already have.

Hi, look at this question (see below). It's similar with yours and exposes some impersonation capabilities of NET and WinApi.
