I am trying to delete a folder on a remote computer. I have tried using the File System object but i keep getting permission denied. The code that i used to do this is as follows;

Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

IPAddress = "10.17.1.12"
username = "test"
localFolder = "\\" & IPAddress & "\c$\Documents and Settings\" & username
oFSO.DeleteFolder(localFolder)

Any Ideas??
