Description

The NO_SIZE option is used with the LIST command; it disables the Get File Size operation.

By default, if the FTP server is running under an operating system that does not provide file sizes with lists, UFTP will calculate the size by transferring the file to the client and counting the bytes received. The file contents are not saved. (Currently, z/OS is the only FTP server operating system known to not provide file size.)

Although this provides an accurate size for files, it comes with a cost in terms of system overhead. Using NO_SIZE bypasses this operation. The file sizes will not be available, but the overhead will have been bypassed.

If NO_SIZE is used with a server that does provide sizes, NO_SIZE has no effect.
