That is something that's os-dependent. What information that Java provides is listed in the File class methods. If what you want isn't listed, you'd have to get it from the os using the Runtime or ProcessBuilder class or using Java Native Interface (JNI).

Is there any code snippet that can drive me through or start with?

I have very little idea about JNI and native APIs

How about COM ?..

However, I should be able to read the files and get info from both windows or unix... i.e the files storage shall be mounted on UNIX server from which I need to read..

Any help is appreciated !!!
