Suggestions for running VMware Converter over the internet

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a bit of advice

 

Currently using VMware Workstation 9 and things are going great, I've P2V'd a couple of local machines on the network using the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client (5.1) and had no issues at all.

 

What I am currently looking to do now however is proving somewhat challenging.

 

I have a web/database server which is in a datacenter that I wish to P2V. The server is running Windows 2008 Server R2 edition and I can connect to the server using Remote Desktop. I have access to the firewall on the server (it only has the default / built in Windows firewall) and I have access to the firewall in the office here.

 

The server is limited on disk space, it has two physical drives as:

 

C: 30GB (2.7GB free space)

D: 16GB (5.1GB free space)

 

The lack of local disk space is naturally preventing me from running the P2V and storing the img locally, then downloading via FTP or similar.

 

Therefore, I'm wondering what my options are...

 

Would it be feasible to try and run the P2V from the office (bandwidth is 30Mb downstream, 3Mb upstream)?  If so, what prerequisites would be required in terms of firewall ports or maybe even VPN connections?

 

Any other suggestions on how best to P2V this machine would be welcomed
