To access a network share that is protected you need to call LogonUser and do impersonation within your application. The MSDN article provides a code sample. Then you can just browse, copy/move, etc with the System.IO namespace. For instance:

System.IO.Directory.GetFolders(@"\\Server\Share");

will return a list of the folders on the network share.

I take it the app will be running under credentials different than the username/password that can access the folder.

You can use impersonation, see this question for how to set up the win32 api calls to logon and revert to self.
