How can I count files on ftp-site?
I'm connecting thru ftp and I want to count files in my ftp-directory.

Thanks.

Depends on what commands the remote server is allowing. Invoke 'help' and see what's offered, if you're lucky, you can execute system commands, and therefore do some tricks with 'wc -l' for example. If not, talk to the FTP's administrator. Or last resort, invoke "ls" with some flags, hopefully it will spit some more info.
