This is one of those "it depends what you mean" questions, i.e. you
haven't really given us enough information.
What do you mean by "directory size"? Number of files, number of bytes
in files, number of disk blocks, something else, also are
sub-directories to be included? Also how some of these are determined
can be platform specific.
CM> What I need to do is check to see if the directory is empty, and do some processing based on the return value
How can you access the remote server to get this information? FTP,
Telnet, SSH, something else?
CM> I can access the remote server using the psexec command (sysinternals)
Perl has modules that can help with most of that, that you can download
from the ppm archive, if you are lucky, or CPAN in any event. The
answers to the above questions should give you a better clue of what to
search the archive for than I can from the information you provided.
