Get an FTP Listing Entry's Size as a String

See more FTP Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Ftp2.GetSizeStr method, which returns the size in bytes of a cached directory-listing entry as a decimal string. The only argument is a zero-based index.

-- Important: See this note about string length limitations for strings returned by sp_OAMethod calls.
