I am getting file size for single filename from my remote FTP using Advanced FTP node which is working fine.  
But Now I wanted to get the file size of 7 files which needs to send to FTP node one by one and save it in an array and then show as a result of filenames and their size. I tried many logics but didn't work.  
It is not feasible to get the list of directory every time and compare it with the require files available in my local directory.  
I would be grateful if someone can suggest me a solution.

I suggest fs-ops to the rescue.

Thanks!  
However using fs-ops I can access only the local files only. I want to get the size of the files from my remote server which can only possible by FTP nodes.  
But now I have figured out another solution and is working fine.  
One again thank you so much!
