ls -l gives the size of a file. df gives the free space on the filesystems where the file lives. du is another command. quota -v (if quotas are enabled) tells you how much more filespace and how many more files you can create.

Other than holes, files don't have "free" space - the application that allocated the file will keep track of space inside the file it has not used. databases do this kind of thing, for example.
