What kind of network file system is it?
Assuming a Unix-like permission system, it is quite surprising that you 
can delete files but not create any.
Or maybe you can delete (and create) files in a subdirectory but not 
create (and delete) in the root directory H:\?
Otherwise it might be due to some unusual ACL settings on the remote 
side, or maybe you have exceeded your quota (amount of allowed capacity) 
on the remote server? Ask the administrator.
