FTP File Size Check

[aahan]

Hi,

I am interested in comparing the file sizes on the source server and the destination server, however the bytes size does not match exactly.

I have the bytes size from ls -l from the source server. Now after performing the FTP I am asking for the size command in FTP , however the file size differs. Physically the file size is different on the destination server , than what is displayed by the FTP size command.

Is there some parameter for synching it up ?

Thanks

I believe I would use the QUOTE SITE syntax within ftp to run the same command on the remote machine. I am assuming that the servers are similar.

From memory:
ftp>quote site ls -l

Might be SITE QUOTE, I forget. If you are using binary mode you really should not have to worry about this. IBM Certified -- AIX 4.3 Obfuscation
