not sure how you would do it directly without setting up some kind of remote access, which you could do given the correct permissions.

but one way to do this would be to build an asp page that reports any system stats that you need. Have the asp file on the hd you want to analyze, and call it using HTTP POST. The file could then echo back it's findings.

You could do this in any server side language, depending on what the remote server is running software wise.

Hi,
there was a question like this a few weeks ago in this forum. It was about accessing services on another machine. Have a look into the WMI class.

Dim processHandle As UInt64
Dim freespace As Integer

Dim query As New ObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_LogicalDisk Where Name='C:'")

For Each queryObj As ManagementObject In searcher.Get()
processHandle = queryObj("FreeSpace")
freespace = processHandle.ToString / 1073741824
