If the size it reports is not the size of the files on the website, then isn't something drastically wrong somewhere? I can only assume that FTPc is telling me the correct sizes of the files on my website (whether or not it is actually looking at some virtual copy somewhere). In which case, I should be able to knock up a program on my local computer which uses FTPc (or cURL or somesuch) to read the filesizes. Unless, of course, someone has already knocked up a program to do this, that they would be willing to lend me... -- Cheers Roger If you start nowhere, you'll finish up in the same place
