Retrieving filesize information

You can retrieve the byte size of a file using the Ftp#getFilesize method.  All filenames are relative to your current remote directory.

Example

// get size of file image.gif in bytes

long filesize = ftp.getFilesize("image.gif");

Note

The Ftp#getFilesize method utilizes a command that is supported by a majority of FTP servers however is not officially recognized by RFC 959 so may not be supported on some FTP servers.
