the only option for remote access besides creating /installing a client on a remote computer is probably using a dos prompt (reverse shell). An application can execute the commands remotely and you can gather the results. (This technique is used by hackers mainly when a weak password is found via netbios, or an application stack overflow) But you would have to rely on dos or applications already residing on the comp to gahter info.
as long as you can get access rights to the computers shares, I cant see why you cant make the program. Installing a client would be the easiest though... but both methods could create holes. I cant seem to remember the name on the remote shell application, if I remember I will post it __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
