Since no one has answered this, I'll take a crack at it, but I don't have any direct answers.

It sends the username and the password in clear text across the wire. Instead, you should be using sftp or scp to copy the files over to the remote host. You can do it in two steps. Use something like "scp -r" to copy everything recursively from the ISP to a local temp directory, and run your graphical programs to get the sizes. WinSCP (http://winscp.net/ for Windows) and Cyberduck (http://cyberduck.ch/ for Mac) are two graphical scp programs and they can display the file sizes, but probably not the directory sizes. I vaguely remember you were happy with using rsync for some other application. If you have a clean copy of the directory that the remote (ISP) is supposed to have, (and if the ISP's server supports rsync over ssh) you can use rsync with the "--del" option to make sure it deletes the files that aren't in your local copy. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
