How can I view the CPU and Resource usage of my Linux server without accessing it?

How can I view the CPU and Resource usage of my Linux server without accessing it?  I don't have access to the server but I do have FTP access and the ability to make updates to the .htaccess file.  So is it possible to view this information without access to the server?

(as the .htaccess was mentioned, I assumed it's already running an HTTP server ...)
Garry-G, yes, you are right. But, when you are trying to manage a server, you should a little more access.  Second, it still may not be possible to ftp and change permissions to the correctly execute using CGI.

xterm: The output of that page displayed nothing.


Actually I do have access to the CGI-BIN folder, I'll try the other methods
