One Saturday night, I found myself needing to find out exactly how much space I was using on one of my web sites. The standard FTP utility lists the space used for each individual directory when you do a list, but it doesn't total the results or recurse directories. Obviously the way to solve this problem was to write a script to do the job for me. I already had the Net:FTP module installed to run my web cam, so it should be an easy job to create a script to do the job. After a couple of hours hacking the script was at a point where it could resurse a web site. A few more hours hacking the program could accept user parameters or read from a rc file. Sitesize can be used in two ways. WARNINGFTP sites require a plain text login name and password ! This means that the information stored in the rc file is not encrypted. We recommend that you chmod 600 .sitesizerc after creation. |
