Controlling FtpGetFile

Hi,

Is there any way in stopping FTPGetFile from issuing a SIZE command on the
remote server? I have come across an FTP site that does not understand the
SIZE command and as a result I cannot download any files from it.
FTPCommand(...,'RETR',...), FTPGetFile and FTPOpenFile all issue a SIZE
command before RETR. How can I stop this?

If its not possible to stop does anyone know of a different way of
downloading from an FTP site?

Thanks for your help
Graham
