create a shared folder on a remote machine

[kebo]

Hi all,

Is it possible to create a folder on a remote machine that has no previously shared folders? I can do this...

Dim fname As String = "\\10.1.x.y\Documents\MyFolderName"
        IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(fname)

but it will only work if the computer at 10.1.x.y has an existing shared folder named "Documents". Can a new folder be created remotely without having to be created in an existing share? I'm not sure it can because it would seem like a bit of a security hole.
thanks for looking
