User98 Posts: 2 Member Since: 04/18/02	posted April 18, 2002 2:36 PM We're trying to use the retrieve method to get files from a non-standard server which does not respond to the size command. Is there a way to stop that command from being send? Thanks.

Size is a not standard, but widely used command, we ended up implementing it in our server so that the cleint would be satisfied. The expected response from the size command is simply the decimal files size after a "213" command. <--- SIZE fileabc.doc ---> 213 175254
