I'm not sure why on earth you would ask that question here, but I suppose
I'm only encouraging you by answering.
Basically, the file system remote stuff doesn't let you easily supply
alternate credentials. You need to impersonate the alternate user and
perform the operation that. It isn't like with ADSI/S.DS where you can just
supply alternate credentials and it just works.
There is a nice sample in the .NET SDK docs for WindowsImpersonationContext
that shows how to call the LogonUser API to obtain a logon token with a
user's credentials and then impersonate that token to perform an operation.
I hope that helps.

Subject: [ActiveDir] VB2005 copy dir using AD credentials
Hi All,
I'm writing a VB2005 program, the problem I have is that the program will
copy a directory to a network location but I need to supply AD credentials
as the user running the program doesn't have permission to the network
location. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can do this or point me in the
direction of a blog/site with examples etc?
Many thanks
Steven
