Get size of file on ftp server before downloading

[Adam]

Hi,

How can I get the size of a file on an ftp server before downloading the
file. Basically I want to create a progress bar to show the progress of the
download as its being downloaded. If anyone could point me to any good
resources or explain what i need to do. I am using Visual Studio 2010 beta,
but code needs to be able to be run on 2.0 framework, if possible.

Thanks in advance,

Adam
