Copy a file from local machine to remote machine using WMI

Question

I've tried figuring out how to copy a file from the local machine my program is running on onto a remote machine using C# and WMI (Without having to set up a share on the remote machine), but with no luck.

The source file could be on the local computer the program is running from or on share, but I do not want to have to set up a share on the destination machine.

Does anyone know how I could do this?

Ok, so I can't copy from the local machine. But it should be possible to tell the remote machine to copy a file from a share onto its harddrive through WMI? — Avilan, Jun 09 '11 at 11:21

I bashed my head on this until I found Frank White's WMI method of using CMD to create a way of doing this. As long as your account can access a shared folder (UNC, FTP, http, etc.) the workaround works: https://stackoverflow.com/a/11948096/1569434
