Question : create / unzip files on remote server

I need to connect to a remote server, create a zip file on the remote server, and also unzip a zip file on the remote server.  Currently we are using psexec from sysinternals to do this, but I am creating a new control application in c# and would like advise on how to do this .. do I need to do remoting, or do I create a web service on the target service, or is there another way to do this?

All help appreciated.

Answer : create / unzip files on remote server

If you want to do something like this (without using psexec) you will have to install a piece of code on each server.

This piece of code could be any service (web service or windows service).

For this example, I would prefer a web service. It will be invoke only when the client request it.
