From: Adam on 10 Mar 2010 22:41 Hi, How can I get the size of a file on an ftp server before downloading the file. Basically I want to create a progress bar to show the progress of the download as its being downloaded. If anyone could point me to any good resources or explain what i need to do. I am using Visual Studio 2010 beta, but code needs to be able to be run on 2.0 framework, if possible. Thanks in advance, Adam
