>- see footer for list info -< Well u have a problem here. Presuming this is a shared server seeing as you mentioned its not yours and your using HELM, you can't measure the available disk just for your web site as this information is not available on the server. The server just knows how much disk space it has free on the entire disk. Your disk space quota is helm by the HELM control panel and is not enforced in any way. You can exceed your quota and HELM will simply tell you if you do. All you can do is count the total space used by all your files and compare it with your quota which will have to be a hard coded value that you extract from HELM.

If this site was hosted on my own server to which I have administrative privileges this is no problem as I can check the available disk quota for each hosted Web site by going to the Helm Control Panel to check this information there, and make adjustments to the allocated disk space for a particular Web site if needed. Since I anticipate having to upload large files to sites to which I do not have administrative privileges more frequently I would like to be able to determine the amount of available disk space for Web sites on servers to which I do not have administrative privileges in order to determine if the allotted disk space will be sufficient, or if I need to request the system administrator to adjust the available disk space for such sites. Are there FTP clients with this capability? Is there a Unix command I can enter in the Windows FTP Client that will tell me the free disk space in MB or GB for a particular Web site to determine if it will be enough to hold large files such as audio and video files? I'll appreciate knowing the proper commands for UNIX, or recommendations of checking utilities that can do this. Thanks for your help and suggestions.
