Get remote drive freespace?

Question

Hi
Is there a way to get the amount of freespace available on the remote server drive?
I'd like to check this before attempting to upload huge files and then find out the drives full etc.

cheers

Answer 1

Generally, no there isn't a way. The FTP protocol doesn't cover this.

There's a very low chance that you could run the du command on Unix systems. But easier to telnet or ssh in and run this command.
