Possible to fetch data from remote folder on IIS server?

Question

So far I have worked with remote Linux servers where I fetched data via PHP layer. Is it possible to do the same with a remote storage server that runs IIS 7.5 server?

I basically need to list files of a remote folder and fetch specific file(s) from an Android application.

If I can do this, should I create a C# layer with JSON output (like I do with a PHP layer) or there is another (better) way to do this?

Thanks

I haven't used IIS since 1997, but it looks like you can run PHP on it nowdays? You might be lucky and can reuse your PHP layer.
