      How are you establishing the connection to the remote machine, using what connectivity? FTP? HTTP? NTLM?

          If everything is in the same workgroup or domain (and the Administrator account presumably has permission to everything in the workgroup or domain) then you may simply refer to the location using the UNC path -- i.e., "\\machinename\sharename\foldername\", and you will not have to expend any additional effort with coding for file access & security permissions.
