Both these solutiuons work well with, say a dedicated hosted machine, or one
in which I am actualy the admin. Neither works in the usual small-medium
site hosted scenario in which my site is one of a dozen (or many more - hard
to know) sites hosted on a single rmeote 2003 server. The hoster is not
going to give me access to any tools that will take down someone else's
site. That includes machine admin rights.

The scenario again is that I have a hosted site with an account that is able
to manipulate the that one site, one of many on a remote PC running Win2k3.
FP lets me creat a sub-site. but not, as far as I can tell, set the
application for that remote site.

This means (1) is flat out. (2) I had not tried, but also does not work.

I need a way to access Remote PCs within the context that a hoster is
willing to provide to a single developer.
