problem with ftp_size()

[Anon]

Heya,

I wrote a small script to check the size of a file on a FTP Server.

To do that I used

$size = ftp_size($con_id,$filename);

what i get as result is diffrent from the original bytes of that file.

something like

Php tells me Filezize= 5456257 Bytes
and it should say Filesize = 5436195 Bytes (thats the acual Filesize)

any ideas what wents wrong here ?

Thanks

Torty

Filesize across FTP differs between Binary(image) mode and ASCII mode.
Try setting your FTP mode to I, read the size, then set it to A and read the size again.
