Size of UNC path....

[Guest itman]

I've been using this app for about 6 months and I must say it is excellent!

However, I'm looking for a way to find the size of a UNC path... I noticed there is a filegetsize function, but I would like to know the size of a directory located on a network

EX...

$dirsize = dirgetsize ("\\mypc\c$\backupdir")

or maybe...

$dirsize = filegetsize(\\mypc\c$\backupdir\*.*)

Is there anyway to acomplish this?

Thanks for writing such a useful app!

I'm just in the middle of adding a DirGetSize() function that was submitted to me a while ago. Should be in the latest beta/unstable build today.

Just to let you know...

I have a script running now with a progress bar that uses the DirGetSize and it appears to be running perfect. It's copying about 7gigs over the network but right now I can see I've copied about 3.5GB out of 7GB.

It is also using a combination of UNC paths and absolute paths.

Thanks,
