Description

The class org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTP which implements many FTP commands (cdup cwd  mkd ..) still doesn't support size command.

Indeed there is no size() method for this class, and org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPCmd doesn't have the SIZE constant (as a consequence we also couldn't call sendCommand("SIZE path") as a workaround).

 

Please don't misunderstand with FTPFile.getSize() which returns the size found from a list result (this size being also wrong when dealing with symlinks, but that's another story)
