Then the server does not support the SIZE command, or is sending back
a malformed reply to it.

You should not be using Size() to differentiate between a file and a
directory. That is a very poor design choice. You need to use the
List() method with the DirectoryListing collection instead. That will
give you detailed information about items, including whether they are
actually files or directories.

That has no effect on Size(). That only effects the DirectoryListing
collection.
