RS Utility- preserve folder structure and deploy RDSs

I am trying to figure out the RS command line utility. How do I
create/preserve a folder structure for organizing my reports, and how do I
deploy RDSs with this utility. Also, the sample script just shows how to
create data sources, not deploy the ones I have already created.

JasonThe RS.exe simply packages the SOAP API. So if you have an .RDS file,
you'll need to write parsing logic in your script to read the contents of it
and supply them to the CreateDataSource method.
BTW - there is no way to push a .rds file to the server; it's a file that is
used by the report designer while you're designing reports.

RS utility - folder structure for storing reports

I am trying to use the RS utility for deploying reports I create to our
customers. I need to hand them an install CD that does everything. I can
deploy reports via RS, but I am wondering how to preserve a folder structure
for organizing the reports. Also, how do I script subscriptions, and deploy
RDSs. The sample MS provides creates a new data source, not use the ones I
have already created in report design.
Thanks,

I haven't got around to subscriptions yet but it should handle most of you
requirements
