Can anyone suggest a simple way to determine the size of a file hierarchy over ftp? It's several small files deeply nested in directories and it takes up at least 100 GBi and unfortunately only ftp access is available.
Simplest is just to ftp(1), list the files, and add it up. Otherwise, script it with ftp(1). Or maybe www/lynx. Or mount it as a filesystem with fuse. sysutils/fusefs-curlftpfs-0.9.2_3 looks likely. fuse support on FreeBSD is not particularly stable, but sometimes good enough.
