Return File Size of File

[RSedlacek]

Is there a way to return the size of a file in a specific directory on a site using CF?

I have a folder with various files that users can download from my site. I want to be able to show the users the file size before they decide to download it.

If you are using CF8, use the GetFileInfo function.

For MX7 or earlier, use cfdirectory. You can use a filter to restrict the results to a specific file.

<cfdirectory directory="c:\someFolder\" filter="YourFileName.xls" name="fileDetails">
<!--- show file size --->
<cfoutput>File size in bytes: #fileDetails.size#</cfoutput>
<!--- show all --->
<cfdump var="#fileDetails#">
