Treesize type tool for FTP?

SSR · 24-02-2007, 05:03 PM

Hi folks,

Is anyone aware of a tool similar to Treesize or Spacemonger for FTP?

I can't quite see where all my FTP space has gone, so would appreciate a tool that can scan the directories and files and check. I can't seem to find anything through Google.

Thanks

You don't say if you are on linux or window$

On linux, set up a cron job to run the following command:

du -h --max-depth=3 ~/public_ftp/

And set the time to run as a couple of minutes from now.

You'll get an email that has directories (3 deep) with their filesizes. If you want more depth change the depth. But if you have LOTS of sub directories its easier to look for the biggies and then change the path (~/public_ftp/ to that sub-directory) and go deeper in only that sub directory.

Its command line - but it works (just like linux ;-) )
