The CPAN Net::FTP module supports a "size" method to return the size in bytes on the remote server of the specified file. For compatibility with Net::FTP, it would be desirable for Net::FTPSSL to also support a functionally equivalent size method. Show quoted text

You can use almost any FTP command not directly supported by the Net::FTPSSL class via the boolean quot() command. So in order to get the remote file's size you could do: if ($ftps->quot ("SIZE", $remote_file)) { $size = $1 if ( $ftps->message()=~ m/\d+\s+(\d+)/ ); } Just be aware that the size returned for text files may not match the actual size when the file is downloaded to your system. That is an OS specific issue. See the POD text for more details on this command. I'll consider this enhancement for v0.12 when I have time to work on it again.
