FTP Drive Space

[pa.singer]

I am developing a windows service with Visual Studio 2005 that
automates the FTP of files to a remote server. I am wondering if anyone
knows of a way I can programatically retrieve the available drive space
on the remote server prior to the FTP transfer? I know that I can use
the GetResponse method of the FTPWebResponse class to retrieve a status
code indicating that there is insufficient space when that occurs, but
I would prefer to be proactive.

Thank you...

You can't do this. The FTP protocol doesn't have anything in it that
provides this information.

Hope this helps.

I'd concur, there isn't a way to do this.

It looks like you're using 2.0, but if you want some ideas. you can also
