Disk Space on a Remote NT server
- Thread starter arouhi
- Start date
If you can use the UNC path you can use the API:
Public Declare Function GetDiskFreeSpace Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetDiskFreeSpaceA" (ByVal lpRootPathName As String, lpSectorsPerCluster As Long, lpBytesPerSector As Long, lpNumberOfFreeClusters As Long, lpTtoalNumberOfClusters As Long) As Long
then for the lpRootPathName just use \\servername\c$
just setup long variable for the other parameters because they are all pointers that will return values.
You must have rights to the share to be able to do this.
