How To calculate the used space

Calculating the used disk space on a remote server requires all folders to be recursively enumerated. This is a very inefficient task if done through FTP. It's easier to write a small script (PHP, ASP, etc) which runs directly on the server to achieve the same result.

Example scripts are provided for PHP and ASP.
