The file SIZE command is supported by almost every FTP server, even those that do not support the FEAT command. Just use the SIZE method which should return the file size in SIZERESULT. The only bullet proof way is use CWD and DIR to get a directory listing, and parse it (many different formats) to get the file size. These commands are supported by all FTP servers. My high level TMagFTP component, available free to those that paid for the ICS SSL effort from the SSL download page, does all this transparently, using various techniques depending on the server capabilities.
