Checking the size of a file after FTP

Hi
I am doing a FTP process through which I am copying a file from my local server to Remote server. After this I want to check the size of the file

Below is my program:

Code:

LOCALDIR=/batch/ediprocess
REMOTESERVER=test.appl.com
REMOTEPATH=batch/ftpTest
LOGIN=px
PASSWORD=abcd
ftp -n $REMOTESERVER << INPUT_END
quote user $LOGIN
quote pass $PASSWORD
for file in $(find $REMOTEPATH -type f -iname '*.csv'); do
 echo "$file"
 fileSize=`stat -c %s $file`
 echo "$fileSize"
 if [ $fileSize -gt 0 ]; then 
  echo "File exists"
 else
  echo "File does not exist" 
 fi

But its not working and throws error

Code:

find: /batch/ftpTest: No such file or directory
stat: too few arguments
Try `stat --help' for more information.
We only support non-print format, sorry.

SIMPLEFTP(1)						    InterNetNews Documentation						      SIMPLEFTP(1)

NAME

       simpleftp - Rudimentary FTP client

SYNOPSIS

       simpleftp url [...]

DESCRIPTION

       simpleftp is a Perl script that provides basic support for fetching files with FTP in a batch oriented fashion.	It takes one or more FTP
       URLs on the command line.  The file(s) will be retrieved from the remote server and placed in the current directory with the same basename
       as on the remote; e.g., <ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/active.gz> is stored as active.gz in the current directory.

       The script properly understands usernames, passwords and ports specified as follows:

	   ftp://user:password@host:port/path/file

BUGS

       simpleftp is an extremely poor substitute for more complete programs like the freely available wget or ncftp utilities.	It was written
       only to provide elementary support in INN for non-interactive fetching of the files in <ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/pgpcontrol/> or
       <ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/> without requiring administrators to install yet another package.	Its shortcomings as a general
       purpose program are too numerous to mention, but one that stands out is that downloaded files by simpleftp override existing files with the
       same name in the local directory.

HISTORY

       Tossed off by David C Lawrence <tale@isc.org> for InterNetNews.	Rewritten to use "Net::FTP" by Julien Elie.
