FTP client: Determining the actual directory size

Greetings!

I have FTP clients: Cute_FTP and SmartFTP. I want to find out what is the total size of all files inside a directory without having to open the directory and adding up all the file sizes for the individual size.

For example:

directory name: ABC --- ftp client says it is 4KB
files inside the directory ABC:
xyz --- 13KB
123ab -- 12KB


Therefore it does not seem to display the actual size of the directory. What I want to find out is the size of the directory
which in this case is 25KB which is the total of the files inside
it. I want to find this out without having to add the file sizes of
each file inside the directory. Or without opening the directory itself (if possible).

Do you know of any FTP client that can do this?

Any suggestion.

I know DOS FTP may be used to issue a command like ls -a but I would not want to do that as I also have a client who needs to do this too.

Thank you very much.
