how to figure out used webspace?

Post by joe »

Hey all.

I was jw, is there an FTP command that will show how much space someone is using on their website. Or, how do you find out another way how much space you are using? Thanks.

I have never seen any Contol Panel on a FTP based Host. But maybe this works, depending on the FTP Client App you are using: Select all folders, then click properties. If there is a properties button at all.
In theory it should be possible to code the client this way. It simply would get information about all files in all folders you have selected. Takes some time, but should work. So it's likely that there are FPT Client tools that are capable of it.

Often you can access your control panel by adding

Code: Select all

/cpanel
at the end of the main url. You won't have access if you are a subdomain. But for example, if I need to work on my server, I would go to

Code: Select all

http://matt.echowave.net/cpanel
which then I would enter my username and password for access.

You can also view the folders by File Transfer Protocol going to

Code: Select all

ftp://domain
Like I would go to

Code: Select all

ftp://matt.echowave.net
to access all my files.

Hope this helps.
