Let's say you are in Windows Explorer. You have a Folder A that contains files, as well as a few subfolders B, C and D. Is there a way to know the total file size of all files in Folder A (including all files in the subfolders)? I know I can open up each (sub)folder and just add them up. But surely there must be a more efficient way to see the total file size of everything in Folder A?

Erm, right click on Folder A -> Properties and it will calculate the size of all files and folders under it.

Yikes, how simple is that?? :blush:

One further question. How can I do the same thing on a remote server? When looking at the folders in an FTP program, the right click does not give me the results.

Using WS_FTP pro, if I right click a remote folder I have a choice of "properties" that does exactly that. What FTP program are you using, Vito?

That's great, bear, thanks. When using CuteFTP, that feature does not exist. But I opened up WS_FTP Pro and you are correct. :)
