Ah yes ... Sorry, Mark -- I lied in email earlier ... I just checked and I DO do a LIST (actually, I think it's an NLIST, whatever that does). This is how I retrieve the file size of the thing I'm about to download. Hence the 0 file size. Is there a better way to get that? It's been so long since I worked on this code, I can't remember why everything works the way it does anymore.
