Not sure of the best way to handle a problem

Hi: I have a slight problem that I'm not sure where to begin. I have multiple files on another server other then my linux box that needs to be renamed. These files are used under a particular software package and I am trying to switch them to another software package which would require them to be renamed. Now here is the catch. I really can't install apache, php, or perl on the system (windows) or it will bog down the software (which automates a radio station). What I need is to find out if any of you have ever accessed a remote system (perhaps from the command-line interface) and changed file names. I need to be able to remove numbers a pluses. The numbers can be replaced with essentially nothing. The pluses need to be replaced with spaces. Any ideas. I'm a little new to PHP so I'm not sure if the best method would be to use the command-line option or if I should find another solution altogether. (I'm just more familar with php then perl and hate vb.) David
