AFAIK, the "SIZE" command is not standardized. Check RFC 959 for a list of
standard FTP command. (http://www.zvon.org/tmRFC/RFC959/Output/index.html)

However, a even more clumsy way is to use "LIST" command then use ftpparse
utility (http://cr.yp.to/ftpparse.html), try to extract the file size
information, and pray that the format the FTP server returns is not too
strange not to be recognized. :)
