Check to see if directory has no files, but it may contain subfolders

I need to check to see if a directory is empty. The problem is, I want to consider the directory empty if it contains a sub folder regardless of whether or not the sub folder contains files. I only care about files in the path I am looking at. This directory will be accessed across the network, which kind of complicates things a bit. What would be the best way to go about this?
