Can I use RS.exe to create the folders in Sharepoint-Integrated Reporting service?

Question

Hello All,
Recently, I am using rs.exe and .rss files to publish my reports to SharePoint-Integrated Reporting Service.
The outstanding issue is, it cannot create non-existing folders for me automatically. I have to created the folder manually.
Thinking BIDS "Deploy" function can make folder creating happen, why the RS.exe doesn't support so?
Does anyone know how to change .rss and rs files to make folders creating automatically. 
E.g. If I pass in "ParentFolder" and it doesn't exist on SharePoint, then RS.exe can create the folder first then deploy the RDL files under that folder.

Hi Derek,
In SSRS, we can use .rss files to publish our reports to a new folder. Please refer to the following script:
Dim definition As [Byte]() = Nothing
Dim warnings As Warning() = Nothing
Dim destinationFolder As String = "DemoReports"
Dim reportsTargetPath As String = "/" + destinationFolder
Dim reportsSourcePath As String = "C:\Demo"
Dim datasourceName As String = "DataSource1"
‘Create the destination Folder
Try
rs.CreateFolder(destinationFolder,”/”, Nothing)
Console.WriteLine("Parent folder {0} created successfully", destinationFolder)
CreateReportDataSource(datasourceName, "SQL", "Data Source=.;Initial Catalog= AdventureWorksDW2012")
Catch e As Exception
Console.WriteLine("Tasks completed successfully.”)
End Try
You can refer to the script in the following blog.
