Yes, it solved my problem (logging into a remote share and copying files over there). I can recommend this older thread for you:

- What special permissions are required on the client?

Nothing. I was able to impersonate a user on the remote computer, which was not even a user on the local (client) computer, although this particular feature requires XP (or W2k at the minimum).

- Will the impersonation user require permissions to the location on
the local client where the files are copied to?

I think the local computer will be fine. I never had a problem reading my file from the local computer after impersonation. However, my impersonated user was not even a user on the local machine. I just did

LogonUser
ImpersonateLoggedOnUser
CopyFile
RevertToSelf
CloseHandle

For the exact code, you might want to read the entire thread, it has some useful information.
