You could create a xmlrpc server on all clients, that listens for such a 
request, then your server (which is an xmlrpc client) calls all the 
clients on the appropriate exposed function, then the client proceeds on 
gathering the required information and puts it using ftplib on the ftp 
share. It is also possible to return all info via the xmlrpc call and 
let the server do the ftp part, all depends on your requirements.

If your on a NT only network a better route would be to use WMI.
