Lookinjg for a "FTP-Size" tool
« on: March 17, 2007, 09:18 AM »
Hi,

I need to check some FTP-Quotas. Is there a Tool which connects to the FTP-Server, lists the files and sums up the filesize? In the best case it runs from the commandline and exports the file -> size list in a Excel importable format. Any suggestions?

thx
Crono

Some ftp servers have more advanced features through the "SITE" command, which might be able to do what you want. Failing that, a lot of servers support a "recursive ls listing" (which makes this job a lot easier), but it is unfortunately turned off on a lot of servers, since it can be used for DOS attack.

So, before looking further for an app to do this, I'd check if your server supports one of these methods.

Hi f0dder,

thanks for the suggestions. I'm running on a shared Host and the only SITE Commandos available are CHMOD, IDLE and UTIME. ls -lR seems to be disabled also. I think Im going to script it by myself...

Ah, how unfortunate - but not surprising for a shared host (hell, not surprising for any kind of non-dedicated server).

I'd be surprised if there isn't some free tool that does recursive scanning, though.

I remember that I already had a tool which does this thing :-* (years ago). I think it was called ftpsize - I searched but couldn't find it on the web anymore... I believe the producer was a company (or site) called albinoblacksheep (or something like that) - but not the Flash Movie guys :) - ah this is confusing... I'll take a nap  ;)

Hi,
today I scripted such a tool. It runs eighter on your Server or from your client. It Exports all files found into a CSV file (so you can order it simply by filesize). You can specify a limit to log only files which are greater than - for example - 500kb. I attach it - feel free to use it. The zip contains:
- a commandline version (the PHP Version compiled to a standalone exe File)
- a PHP5 Version for running on your server
- a PHP5_cli version

Requirements:
- commandline : none
- web-version : PHP5
- cli-version : PHP5, pear Console/Getopt.php

Usage:
- web-version : see index.php
- cli-version : php cli_ftpquota --host="x" --user="x" --pass="x" [options]
- commandline : ftpquota.exe --host="x" --user="x" --pass="x" [options]

Run it without any options for help

Parameters:

-h    --host          hostname
-u    --user          username
-p    --pass          password
-s    --silent        avoid output to stdout
                      default = false
-e    --exportfile    Filename for the exported CSV File. Enter "true"
                      for default name.
                      default = false
-l    --limit         Only show files with a filesize above the limit in
                      Kilobytes
                      default = 0 (no Limit)


Please report me any Bugs or feature requests...

bye :-)

//edit: I removed the zip temporary, because my virus scanner gave me an alert...

there's another solution here: FTPpie - check space usage on your FTP server :)
